5 fastest footballers in the world

#4 Antonio Valencia

Whenever such lists are compiled, the Manchester United man has to feature. He might not have been a very consistent player over the years, but his speed has remained steady, regardless of where he has played.

According to the same study conducted by Mexican club C.F. Pachuca, the Ecuadorian hits a top speed of 35.1 kilometres per hour. It should also be noted that the winger-turned-full back had a surgery on his ankle in 2015, which reduced his pace a little.

Had it not been for these niggling injuries, he might have been higher on this list.
