10 fastest Premier League stars ranked with rapid winner beating out rivals (original) (raw)

Premier League's FASTEST players revealed - and number one will come as a surprise

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has earned himself a place in the top 10 Premier League sprinters, with rivals from Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal also in the mix

The Premier League is back this weekend - after a pause moments after the teams made it out of the starting blocks.

There will be no time for getting back up to pace either, with all 20 top-flight clubs needing to hit the ground running. Erling Haaland certainly did that in his opening three matches of the league season, finding the net a staggering SEVEN times including back-to-back hat-tricks.

And while his relentless finishing and brute strength are often the first characteristics when describing the Norwegian, he is also no slouch when it comes to keeping up with the best of them. Data from Opta for the opening 30 Premier League matches of the season shows the fastest 10 players of the season so far - and at this early point, who is the quickest of the lot.

Haaland finds himself on the list, having missed out on a berth in the top five fastest forwards last term. He's joined by rivals from the likes of Manchester United, Tottenham and Arsenal - with a few more unfamiliar faces also joining the race.
