Fastest football players in the world: Ranking the top 10 by top speed this season

#9 Moussa Sissoko (France, Tottenham)

Moussa Sissoko's speed makes him influential in the midfield

Top Speed: 35.33 kph

The Frenchman is an important member of the Tottenham team that were fighting for the league at one point in the season. However, Pochettino’s men have been going through a decline of late and are now at danger of missing the top 4 places. But despite their recent debacle, the Frenchman has been a force in the midfield for his team this season.

Sissoko has a rare combination of power and speed, which makes him an asset in the team. This season, the Frenchman has seen his stocks rise, as he has improved his ability to win the ball and his ability to tackle. Even though his finishing has been poor, Sissoko has been fantastic in the build-up play. His speed is an added advantage here, as the Tottenham midfielder has been able to move up quickly during counter attacks. This season, Sissoko has reached 35.33 kilometers per hour, which makes him one of the fastest players in the world.
