The English Premier League has revealed the fastest players for the 2024-25 season as Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Micky Van de Ven tops the chart.
The Tottenham Hotspur defender is the only defender on the list of the top 10 fastest players in the Premier League, and the other nine are attackers.
The defender covered a rapid pace of 23.06 mph on Sunday, September 30, 2024. The Dutch defender also made an incredible run to stop Alejandro Garnacho from scoring.
The defender’s leading speed was better than Kylian Mbappe’s mph in the Euro 2024. The Real Madrid superstar attained a 22.68 mph in the tournament with the France national team.
The second player on the list is Nottingham Forest attacker Anthony Elanga, who has covered 22.30 mph.
Manchester City top scorer, Erling Haaland, sits in third place on the ranking with 22.21 mph.
The Big Manchester City striker has scored 10 goals in the Premier League so far, and he is likely to add more to his tally before the end of the season.
Former Chelsea attacker Timo Werner, who currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur, has covered 22.17 mph.
The German failed to convert clear-cut chances in the game against Manchester United, but his pacy ability made him the biggest threat in the game.
Arsenal attacker Gabriel Martinelli is the fifth fastest player in the 2024-25 Premier League, covering 22.10 mph.
The Brazilian has failed to get into the Arsenal starting 11 as Mikel Arteta prefers to start Leandro Trossard ahead of the midfielder.
The next player on the list is Manchester United’s youngster Garnacho, who has covered 22.04 mph.
He was the Red Devils most lethal attacker against Tottenham Hotspur, even though the team played the game with 10 men.
The Argentine international pacy ability makes him one of the regular starters in the Manchester United team.
Another player on the list is Southampton attacker Cameron Archer. The English star has covered 22.04 mph.
Even though Southampton have been putting out a lackluster performance in the Premier League, the English star remains one of the most talented youngsters in the league.
Pedro Neto is the only Chelsea player on the list, and he comes in as the 8th fastest player in the Premier League.
He has covered 21.99 mph so far in the Premier League, even though he is not getting enough playing time at the club.
Brighton attacker Yankuba Mintech is the 9th player on the list after covering 21.98 mph in the 2024-25 season.
Marcus Rashford falls in the last place of the top 10 fastest players, covering 21.96 mph.
