Adama Traore was not the fastest player in the Premier League in the 2019/20 season.
The Wolves’ winger/physical specimen demonstrated his pace to burn on many an occasion and recorded the second-fastest top speed of all players in the English top flight.
Traore came in at 23.48mph on the final day against Chelsea but was narrowly beaten by fellow speed demon Kyle Walker, with the Manchester Citydefender clocking 23.49mph in the defeat to the Blues last month.
In third is Manchester United hot-shot Mason Greenwood, scorer of 10 Premier League goals this season. The 18-year old is known his two-footedness when shooting but his pace is not to be overlooked; Greenwood ran at 23.36mph against Everton on March 1.
Aston Villa’s Trezeguet managed the same speed a few months later against Liverpool, as did Greenwood’s United teammate Aaron Wan-Bissaka against West Ham back in November.
You wouldn’t have Leicester City’s Caglar Soyuncu down as a speedster but the Turkish centre-back was the sixth-fastest player in the Premier League this term, with a top speed of of 23.33mph against Crystal Palace.
Arsenal’s Ainsley Maitland-Niles ran at 23.27mph against Manchester City in December, while the top ten is completed by Southampton’s Shane Long (23.21mph), Manchester United’s Fred (23.17mph) and Manchester City’s Phil Foden (23.07mph).
