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

#2 Kylian Mbappe (France, Paris Saint-Germain)

Mbappe's speed makes him one of the most dangerous players in the world

Top Speed: 36 kph

The French World Cup winner is having his best season till date and has been brilliant for PSG so far.

On the field, Mbappe is a lethal finisher and a gifted technician. And the Frenchman has the ability to burn up the pitch with his speed on the ground. Mbappe is so fast that it is almost impossible to stop him unless defenders have a head start and even then, very few have the capacity to catch him.

The Frenchman has that extra acceleration in him to give the defenders the slip in the final third. Mbappe regularly uses his speed to open up opportunities in front of goal. The 20-year-old is aware of his pace and has used it to his advantage very well this season. Mbappe has 32 goals from 36 goals in all competitions and is the joint second fastest footballer in the world at present.
