5 footballers who can become sprinters

Hector Bellerin is one of the fastest players in the Premier League

#4 Adama Traore

The 21-year-old came through the ranks at Spanish club Barcelona

With a top speed of 34.84 km/hr, the Middlesbrough speedster is regarded as one of the quickest players in England's top division. He has already recorded the top three Boro sprints in the 2016/17 season on three separate occasions which came against Arsenal, Spurs and Watford.

The 20-year old thus possesses the ability to blitz past the rival defence in a flash making him a prospect to watch out for. And personally, he isn't shy, in fact he takes a lot of pride while speaking about his pace which was evident when he was quoted as saying to Daily Mail, "When I was at Barcelona, the manager told me, 'You are the fastest I see in the club, you pass everyone in the first team.' At the moment, I've not played against anyone quicker. Maybe in the world there is a player quicker than me, but I have not met him yet!"
