2 days ago, Argentinian influencer Valen Scarsini set out to find the least known footballer playing at the upcoming World Cup.

His answer turned out to be New Zealand defender, Tim Payne, who had just 4,000 followers on Instagram at the time.

Valen then encouraged all of his fans to show Tim some love, by liking and commenting on all his posts.

Tim Payne now has 1.2 MILLION followers on Instagram as we speak.

What a insane story…👏😅
