Premier League Speed Demons: The Quickest Players Revealed
In a league where speed and agility can make all the difference, the Premier League’s fastest players have been identified. Manchester City’s Erling Haaland has made the cut, but he’s not the quickest on the pitch.
Haaland’s Impressive Pace
With a top speed of 35.7 km/h, Haaland has proven himself to be a formidable force on the field. However, what’s even more remarkable is his endurance – he’s walked the furthest of any outfield player in the Premier League this season, covering an impressive 28.2km without breaking into a run.
The Quickest of Them All
Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven takes the top spot, reaching an incredible 37.1 km/h. His blistering pace was on full display during Spurs’ 3-0 win over Manchester United in September, when he burst through the United defence to provide an assist for Brennan Johnson.
