William Osula\u2019s goal against Manchester United thrust him into the Premier League\u2019s top 10 fastest players \u2013 but two team-mates are quicker.<\/p>\n
Osula was too fast for the Red Devils in March but Liverpool target Anthony Gordon<\/strong> was even more rapid at Manchester City in February.<\/p>\n Gordon\u2019s fastest sprint of the season takes him to the top of this list of the Premier League\u2019s fastest players, according to our friends at Gradient Sports.<\/strong><\/p>\n To gauge the quickest player, Gradient records the average of each player\u2019s top five observed maximum one-second speeds (km\/h).<\/p>\n Here are the top 10 in the Premier League\u2026<\/p>\n Sesko recorded his fastest speed (35.87km\/h) of the season at Everton, presumably while leaving James Tarkowski for dead to get on the end of Bryan Mbeumo\u2019s pass for United\u2019s winner. His shooting grades, though, suggest he needs to slow down a bit when he\u2019s not under pressure.<\/p>\n Jimenez seems determined to be one of the next cabs to speed off the Bournemouth rank amid a mission to prove AC Milan wrong. And Max Allegri, who isn\u2019t a \u2018sh*tty coach\u2019, after all. Jimenez needed all of his pace to get across and deny Arsenal a late leveller at the Emirates.<\/p>\n Osula clocked his fastest speed of the season (35.23km\/h) while sprinting down the right to get himself into position to score one of the goals of the season against Manchester United. Tyrell Malacia is still chocking on the chalk off the touchline.<\/p>\n Walker is slowing down, apparently, but he still touched 36.84km\/h in Burnley\u2019s home game against Crystal Palace in December. Not bad for a 35-year-old.<\/p>\n Another reason why Erling Braut Haaland is a ridiculous footballer<\/strong>. But not the highest-graded centre-forward.<\/p>\n Newcastle were buzzing at the prospect of Elanga\u2019s lightning speed on the break when they spent a fortune to sign him from Forest, but perhaps they were too dazzled to notice that the 23-year-old struggles to know what to do when he gets there (quickly).<\/p>\n The Brentford winger is now among the top 10 highest-scoring Germans in the Premier League having bumped Michael Ballack from the list. Tottenham were said to be interested in January, which he can count as a lucky escape.<\/p>\n Liam Rosenior reckons Neto is \u2018world class\u2019, the 25-year-old\u2019s pace key to him being used this season as a striker, left winger, wing-back, number 10 and, where he is most comfortable, on the right wing. And despite being shunted around the team, he remains the Blues\u2019 most consistent winger. It would help if he wasn\u2019t getting sent off or shoving ball boys.<\/p>\n The fastest player in Serie A, having averaged 34.88km\/h last season was the fastest in the Premier League until he was overtaken by the new no.1. And the 24-year-old be running very fast around the Championship next season unless the reported interest from Italy resurfaces.<\/p>\n Tchatchoua maxed out at 37.1km\/h for Hellas Verona last term but reached 37.7km\/h when Wolves faced Everton on matchday two.<\/p>\n Gordon clocked 38.2km\/h during the defeat at Manchester City to speed to the top of this list. Will he be as quick to the door this summer, with Liverpool <\/strong>and Bayern Munich sniffing? Karl-Heinz Rummenigge evidently doesn\u2019t hold a grudge.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n10) Benjamin Sesko (Manchester United) \u2013 34.63<\/h2>\n
