Shane Long was the fastest Premier League forward

Southampton's Shane Long makes it to the top of the pile with a clocked pace of 35.31 km/hr.

Although the 30-year-old scored only 3 goals and an assist in 32 games last season, It is no secret that Long can be extremely dangerous thanks to his electric speed.

The Irishman has become apt at giving the defenders quite a scare following his terrorizing runs in the final third.

The pacey forward also holds the top position in the fastest players in the league, apart from being the fastest striker.
