The Isthmian League North club have received two offers for England international eLion Tom Leese, believed to be in the region of £50,000-£100,000. The 22-year-old is considered one of the best professional FIFA players in the world and is under contract with Hashtag.

Although big money transfers have reportedly taken place in other areas of esports, such as the popular game Fortnite, a source close to the negotiations is confident this would be the 'first of its kind' for FIFA. The top-level professional players can earn around £10,000 per month and their social media brand is lucrative for organisations in attracting sponsors.
