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

#7 Jamie Vardy (England, Leicester City)

Jamie Vardy is still one of the fastest players in the world

Top Speed: 35.44 kph

The Englishman has been a constant feature in this list ever since he broke into the scene a few seasons ago. Jamie Vardy has been among the goals this season and is the top scorer for his club once again. He is the only player who has hit double figures for Leicester City so far, scoring 13 goals from 28 games in the Premier League.

Vardy is a cunning striker who likes harrowing and pressing the defense on the field. His finishing is quite good and he is also a threat on the counter-attack. Part of his effectiveness is because the player is extremely fast and has registered a top speed of 35.44 kph this season!

The Englishman is a hard worker, who puts in a lot of effort on the pitch. He likes fast build-up, which helps him use his speed to the fullest. Vardy is also a good crosser of the ball and often pops up in the wings, using his speed to beat the first man. Jamie Vardy is 32 years old right now, but his age has hardly affected his speed so far.
