The Premier League's Fastest Players: Antonio Rudiger Beats Mohamed Salah To Top The Table

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has the highest recorded top speed in the Premier League so far this season. 

The 29-year-old recorded a top speed of 22.80mph during the Blues' 1-1 draw against Brighton. 

Rudiger contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire this summer, and the Blues cannot currently extend his deal due to sanctions placed on their owner Roman Abramovich.

His exit will come as a blow for boss Thomas Tuchel from a defensive aspect but it appears the west Londoners are also set to miss his pace.

The Germany international pipped Liverpool star Mohamed Salah to top the table as the Egyptian forward just missed out after registering 22.74mph, according to OptaJoe.     

Adama Traore is renowned as the Premier League's speed king thanks to his powerful sprints down the wing.
