With Visit Britain looking to find the world's biggest Super Fan, it's easy to see why the NFL and the Premier League are beginning to become so popular in both North America and in Britain respectively.

Though American Football and Soccer are very different games, they both share a number of similarities - and position that the two games share is that of a wide receiver. Whilst their roles differ somewhat, at their core the role of a winger in soccer is very reminiscent to that of wide receiver.

With a focus on running quickly and receiving the ball at distance, you can certainly see how someone like Eden Hazard or Cristiano Ronaldo might fit in in the NFL. Indeed, with both positions crucial to attacks - both wingers and wide receivers are often popular figures amongst fans.

It is an interesting question, then, to look into who the best wide receivers might be in the Premier League, with the English top flight a real hub for top players in that role.

So whilst you contemplate whether you have what it takes to be crowned the biggest Super Fan, here are the top 5 wide receivers in the Premier League...

Eden Hazard

Eden Hazard is argueably the best winger in the Premier League, and you could certainly see the Belgian fitting in well as a wide receiver in the NFL.

Offering electric pace and incredible agility, he is able to pick up balls launched from the other side of the pitch, and that would certainly stand him in good stead. His frame might be slight, but he is a power man on the flanks.

He is on course to battle for the Player of the Year award this year, so there can be no doubting that he is one of the best in the Premier League.

Alexis Sanchez

It is a very similar story with Alexis Sanchez.

The Chilean winger is a powerful man on the wings, and would have no trouble adjusting to life in the NFL.

Indeed, his goal threat is even better than Eden Hazards - and he certainly has a case to be the best in the league.

Sadio Mane

Sadio Mane has only risen to prominence since moving to Liverpool, with the Senegalese winger proving vital for Jurgen Klopp's side.

His pace is his most deadly assets, but it is far from his only threat. He is also a stellar dribbler, set piece taker and, most importantly, goal scorer.

The winger is often on the end of long passes in pursuit of a goalscoring chance.

Raheem Sterling

Raheem Sterling has blown hot and cold so far this season, but he certainly deserves credit for his turnaround in recent weeks.

He has added a real goal threat to his game, whilst he has also improved as an out ball for his team.

Given his slight frame, he is often the furthest man forward, able to jump on balls launched towards him from defence.

Theo Walcott

Theo Walcott is the definition of wide receiver. His electric pace would make him unstoppable in the role, much like it has for much of his career in the Premier League.

He has made a career of picking up the ball and running down the flanks towards the goal with it, and he certainly deserves more credit for the role that he has played for Arsenal during his career.
