Premier League stats: Who is fastest and who’s walked the most this season?
We’ll start with top speed and it’s Tottenham’s Micky van de Ven who’s blistered past the competition so far this season.
The Netherlands centre-back was also the fastest player in the last campaign and the quickest Premier League star at Euro 2024.
Fulham’s Adama Traore and Manchester City full-back Kyle Walker are two known for their pace, but this season their top speed is outside of division’s top 20. For winger Traore it’s 21st, and in Walker’s case, 80th.
Walker’s top speed also puts him below Trent Alexander-Arnold of Liverpool (19th), Manchester United’s Antony (24th) and Aston Villa midfielder John McGinn (61st).
We’re only ranking the quickest player for each team, which means there’s no space on our chart for Tottenham forward Timo Werner who has the same top speed as Manchester City’s Erling Haaland (35.7 km/h).
The slowest quickest player for their club is Ipswich’s Wes Burns, who is only the 49th fastest overall.
