Number one footballer being transferred? (11)

I believe the answer is:

bestselling

'number one' is the definition.

'footballer being transferred?' is the wordplay.
'footballer' becomes 'best' (I've seen this before).
'being transferred?' becomes 'selling' (if something sells it is transferred).
'best'+'selling'='BESTSELLING'

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
