Take a look at 10 footballers associated with various emojis for the most obvious/bizarre reasoning around! Got your own - comment them down below! The best ideas will be featured! Enjoy!
Raheem Sterling - Money mouth Emoji
Sterling once insisted he was not a 'money grabbing 20 year old' when he turned down a £100 000 contract at Liverpool. It was just a couple of months later the English winger packed his bags in a move to Manchester City for a new wage of £180 000 a week - over 5 times his previous pay. Such a move left many a Liverpool fan with an angry red emoji plastered across their face!
Daniel Sturridge - Ambulance 
Fairly self explanatory - the Liverpool striker spends more time in the treatment room than on the pitch as a result he's picked up this ambulance emoji! Note: closely contested with Jack Wilshere! Can Sturridge become Liverpool's main man up top? Neymar Jr. - Heart face
It's difficult to watch Barcelona's Brazilian without admiring his delicate trickery and undeniable confidence. Few players can replicate the youngsters flair and trickery which he offers on a weekly basis - in recognition and respect of his showboating we present Neymar with a Heart face emoji!
Andres Iniesta - Eyes
What represents vision better than the eyes!? Few players have the ability to play the most intricate of passes like Iniesta. The way he can play exquisite though balls in the tightest of spaces is truly mesmerising!
Paul Pogba - Hair cut
Does anyone in the Premier League sport a better trim than Manchester United's midfielder? No, not Fellaini! You know Pogba, the one who moved for a fair bit of cash, you must have heard of him? The 23 year old varies his cut from a mini afro to one with a leopard pattern on display. Along with his memorable celebration it's no wonder why Pogba is such a stand out player for the club.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic - Wine
Like wine the big Swede seems to get better and better with age. It was just last season where Ibrahimovic marked 50 times in as many games for PSG (albeit in a weaker league) however he's shown no sign of slowing up with 4 goals in 4 games for Manchester United so far, including 2 huge headers and a thumping drive.
Yaya Toure - Birthday Cake
The infamous incident in 2014 when the Ivorian midfielder threatened to leave City after he felt the club failed to celebrate his birthday to an apparent degree. Manchester City did in fact give the powerhouse a birthday cake however is agent suggested this wasn't enough adding that 'when it was Roberto Carlos's birthday Anzhi gave him a Bugatti'. The issue was later resolved however questions remain whether Yaya is happy with his new squad rotation role under Guardiola.David Silva - Bow and Arrow
A bow and arrow is a symbol of accuracy and precision, the same words are used to describe the Manchester City man's through balls. In fact Silva has as many as 58 assists in a City shirt and appears to be thriving under new boss Guardiola and the fast paced passing and roaming movement. Silva will need to maintain his impressive displays to keep the £37 million Sane out the team when he is fully fit.Theo Walcott - Gas
The likes of Hector Bellerin, Raheem Sterling and Sadio Mane all rival Walcott as the fastest man in the Premier League but the Arsenal man gets it for his instant acceleration. At times it seems the England forward runs off fuel given his insane sprint speed, if only the 27 year old excelled in other areas of the pitch such as final ball and finishing, especially given he has snuck into my Fantasy Team.
Marcus Rashford - New born Chick
At first this connection may seem peculiar however it's completely plausible in the view that the teenager has only just burst onto the Premier League and International stage and certainly has a long, long, long time to go! The forward has scored crucial goals against Manchester City,Aston Villa Arsenal and most recently Hull as well as netting on his England debut and securing a £25 000 a week contract despite his remarkably young age. Watch the space!
