Players with the highest top speed in Premier League 2023/24
We have looked at the 5 players with the highest top speed this season.
Pace has become a crucial factor in modern football, and it's something clubs consider when scouting players for their teams. In the Premier League, there are several players with high speed, but somewhat surprisingly, it is Luton’s Chiedozie Ogbene who has recorded the highest top speed (km/h) this season.
Chiedozie Ogbene was brought in from Rotherham this summer and is experiencing his first time in the Premier League. He is a typical winger known for his speed and the ability to challenge opponents in his play. His speed is what he is most renowned for, as evidenced by several examples in this season.
Players with the fastest top speed recorded in the Premier League 2023/24 (km/h)
▪️ Chiedozie Ogbene (36.93)
▪️ Pedro Neto (36.86)
▪️ Dominik Szoboszlai (36.76)
▪️ Dara O'Shea (36.73)
▪️ Anthony Gordon (36.68)
Pedro Neto from Wolves is not only the player with the most assists but also the player with the second-highest top speed. This season, he has showcased his significant potential, displayed a challenging style of play and established himself as one of the most creative players in the league. It's a bit surprising to find Szoboszlai on the list; as a central midfielder, he is not often seen in sprint duels.
