Top Speed: 35.71 kph

Inaki Williams is Athletic Bilbao's top scorer this season, has scored 11 goals from 30 games in all competitions and is one of the fastest footballers in the world. Williams also has 4 assists to his name and is a modern center forward who can play across the front three. However, he has mostly appeared as the central striker for his club this season and it is from here that Williams has been most effective.

The Spaniard likes to dribble and is extremely effective on the counter. Because of his red hot speed on the ground, Williams has been able to get the better of the opposing defenses on many occasions this season. If the man gets a head start, it is very hard to gain ground on him, such is William's acceleration on the pitch.

The 24-year-old striker has clocked a phenomenal 35.71 kph this season, which shows how devastating he can be for defenders to handle.
