Who is the fastest player in the Premier League?

The fastest players in the Premier League so far this season have been revealed, with Tottenham centre-back Micky van de Ven once again top of the table.

The Dutchman achieved the highest top speed ever recorded in his first season in English football, reaching a maximum sprint speed of 37.1 km/h this season Opta.

New Wolves recruit Carlos Forbs is his closest rival, with Nottingham Forest’s Anthony Elanga, Arsenal’s Gabriel Martinelli and Manchester City’s Erling Haaland all similarly quick.

Van de Ven has competition at Spurs in the form of Timo Werner, who has reached the same speed as Haaland (35.7 km/h).

While the sample size is relatively small and the top picks often depend on which players have the opportunity to reach their full potential, some familiar faces from past seasons’ rosters are notably absent.

Among them is Kyle Walker, who is ranked just 80th so far this season.

His club’s slowest and fastest player is Ipswich’s Wes Burns, who ranks 49th overall. A full list of each club’s fastest sprinters so far this season can be found below:
