6. Eric Bailly – Manchester United
Trending
Fastest sprint - 34.84 km/h
This is much more heartening news for United fans. After having to suffer through several years of shaky defences post the high of the peak-Rio and Vidic years, they seem to have found the real deal in the shape of young Ivorian, Eric Bailly.
Strong, hard in the tackle, and comfortable on the ball, Bailly also has pace to burn. The most settled of United’s summer acquisitions, he has already made himself indespensibel for Mourinho and banished any doubts that hung over his slightly expensive transfer fee.
He clocked in at 34.84 km/h making him the fastest central defender playing currently in the league
5. Andre Gray – Burnley
Fastest sprint - 34.87 km/h
The Englishman has started promisingly for Burnley this year – using his keen attacking sense and dribbling ability to propel Burnley forward. He has a goal and an assist this season to his name, and with his pace creating a constant threat that number is set to rise.
His electric bursts of pace get him to fifth on our list.
