Speed kills and these 10 turbocharged superstars have been on a total warpath. These are today’s top 10 fastest footballers,
1. Mohamed Salah
From operating up close and personal to flying past defenders like they’re, not even there. It’s pretty fair to say that Mohammed Salah can do it all in 2017, Salah signed for Liverpool and has been a true sensation in the premier league. Ever since putting memories of his underwhelming two-year stint at Chelsea behind him, you can just see the physical difference in this Egyptian international as his career progressed with him eventually becoming the force of nature. We know and love today and it’s not as if salah’s lightning pace is alone in being front and center he’s got the skills and overall mentality to back it up finesse in tight positions, confidence on the ball, and a killer instinct. This born goal scorer has virtually no holes in his game, but when those turbo jets kick in, even the most rapid defenders across Europe struggle to keep up with him. With his top speed coming in at 35 kilometers per hour
2. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Few players can match his insane collection of supercars and even fewer can catch him when he reaches top speed on foot Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has made a name for himself with some of the top Clubs in Europe on the back of some truly rapid pace, the pace that he’s consistently used to blast past. Some of the sport’s most experienced defenders now playing their trade in la Liga with Barcelona. This real-life supercar of an athlete is already proving to be the perfect link up to his fellow speedster Adama Traore, making them one of Europe’s most terrifying duos. His last recorded top speed might not outrun a Ferrari, but there are only a handful of players who could ever hope to compete with a whopping 35.5 kilometers an hour posted by Aubameyang.
3. Kyle Walker
Defending against a counterattack is a nightmare when you don’t have the legs for it, but for Manchester City, Kyle Walker is the perfect ace in the hole when all else fails known just as much for his defense as he is for his marauding runs in the Opposition’s hearth walker doesn’t seem to be losing any steam even at the age of 31, physically imposing quick as an arrow and as experienced as they come even now three premier league titles, later it’s clear that kyle walker is, at the height of his powers, sure there are a lot of quick players in the game. But when it comes to defenders, kyle walker is right up there with the fastest of them and for him tracking back to shut down a swift counterattack is no problem with a top speed coming in at 35.71 kilometers an hour.
4. Erling Holland
Pace alone doesn’t make a player great but Erling holland has so much of it. It’s almost unfair and he’s certainly no one-trick pony it’s his physicality, his instincts, and the sheer terror he inspires in defenders. This Norwegian beast truly has the best of both worlds capable of eating up the entire length of the pitch in no time at all, when his pace isn’t enough to get the job done. His sheer strength allows him to brush past his adversaries when up against a center-back who can match his pure force. Holland can simply turn on the jets and leave them eating his dust when both fail. It just so happens that he has an absolute rocket of a left boot to fall back on at the age of 20. He set a Bundesliga speed record during his Dortmund side’s 3-2 victory over Stuttgart and he comes into this list. With a top speed of 36.04 kilometers, an hour.
5. Leroy Sane
There was a time when it seemed like Leroy Sane was setting speed records every time. He put on a jersey two years into his career as a first-team player, he’d already earned a call-up to the German national team and a 37 million pounds move to Manchester city there. He used his god-given speed to help the city in winning back-to-back premier league titles, as one of the few left-footed players to play on the left-wing solei gives defenders a very different type of challenge, whether he’s dipping into his vast supply of explosive pace or not. The scary thing is that Sane appears to be even quicker since moving to Bayern, and even though his most recent high mark is lightning fast, 36.51 kilometers an hour. Chances are he’ll beat that before long.
6. Kilian Mbappe
Three consecutive domestic goal-scoring awards a World cup title and oh yeah, he runs like a cheetah when you factor in that Killian and Mbappe are just 23 years old. It becomes pretty clear that you’re dealing with a truly generational talent, world-class from his earliest days as a professional. The scary thing about this french international is that his improvements are not slowing down. Not at all.
When opposing defenders read the name Mbappe on a team sheet, they know full well that they’d better bring their running shoes. Just ask matt hummels, who famously was left chasing after him, buffet’s shadow in a viral one-on-one moment known as one of the most lethal counter-attacking threats alive. Having Neymar and Messi alongside him does bring PSG a uniquely dangerous trio. It says a lot about just how much of a one in a million this guy is when his top speed of 36.08 kilometers an hour is only the tip of the iceberg. That is his overall talent if this list was strictly based on the speed with the ball. At their feet, there’s no doubt Mbappe would be at the very top
7. Adama Traore
Out of all the players we’re featuring on today’s list. Adama Traore is without question the outlier 99.9% of the time. An athlete built as incredibly strongly as Traore would never be expected to have a world-class pace. I mean seriously, would you just look at the size of the man? We’ve all seen the viral photos showing this guy’s incredibly muscular physique, but when he takes off running you’d be forgiven for thinking he was half the size he is. Adama Traore is the football equivalent of a boulder rolling at top speed down the side of a hit 36.08 kilometers an hour. It doesn’t make any sense.
8. Marcus Rashford
Marcus Rashford might have his inconsistency issues, but goodness me he’s as quick as a flash. Even those that have been calling for him to be dropped would still agree that Rashford is liable to turn it all around if he can work through this poor patch, originally a striker whose natural pace saw him eventually move out to the wing. It’s crazy to think that he’s still just 24 years of age, with six seasons of experience under his belt.
As far as great united academy graduates in the last decade go, Rashford certainly stands out bursting out of the gates to make an instant impact on the first team. Back in 2015., his unbelievable set of wheels was later joined by an increasingly well-rounded overall game, as he truly stamped down his place on the starting lineup over the years. He’s enjoyed many riveting battles with the aforementioned kyle walker, two speedsters occupying opposite sides in the manchester derby, as good an athlete as you’ll, find at old Trafford, while also being the fastest player in the United dressing room and potentially even the premier league Rashford, managed to Famously clock: a season high-speed record of 36.3 kilometers an hour in-game against Chelsea at Stamford bridge.
9. Achraf Hakimi
PSG outdid themselves when they picked up this Moroccan megastar marking one of the best signings of the season when they stole him away from Inter Milan. Long seen as the perfect addition to the Italian outfit Hakimi’s, natural pace allowed him to mold, especially well with Antonio Conte’s style of counter-attacking football and after just one season in series, a that saw him score on six different occasions. His reputation as one of the best wing-backs in the world was set in stone, even at the young age of 23. Hakimi performs, with the confidence of a player in his prime. When you take a look at the PSG team sheet and all of the incredible speedsters they have in their ranks, Hakimi remains a cut above the others, falling just shy of the title of world’s fastest player, but with a blazing top speed of 36.48 kilometers.
10. Alfonso Davis
Look up the word pace on google and you’ll probably see a picture of this trailblazing. Bayern Munich superstar staring right back at you. Not only is Alfonso Davis considered to be one of the finest left-backs of the era, but he’s also without question. One of the greatest Canadian exports to have ever had major success in Europe.
At the age of just 19 years, old Davis has already got his hands on a champions league medal playing a key role, as the German giant saw off PSG in the final. He was such an instant success that he managed to push the excellent David Alaba out of his favored left-back spot and into the center of defense. Sure he’s known for his creativity, his defensive fundamentals, and his ability to affect the game in the final third, but Alfonso Davis is coming in at number one for his truly ridiculous speed. The Bundesliga generally has no shortage of pacey operators, but it says a lot that Alfonso’s teammates have given him the nickname, the roadrunner, and honestly, with a top speed. That’s been measured at 36.51 kilometers.
