Footballer George with, it’s said, store of wine that’s market success (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bestseller

'market success' is the definition.
(something doing well commercially)

'footballer george with it's said store of wine' is the wordplay.
'footballer george' becomes 'Best' (George Best was a footballer).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'it's said' shows a homophone (sound like).
'store of wine' becomes 'cellar' (wine cellar).
'cellar' sounds like 'seller'.
'best'+'seller'='BESTSELLER'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for bestseller that I've seen before include "top author" , "Dickens for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
