Who are the Premier League's top ten fastest players this season?


Curtains came down on the 2019/20 Premier League season last weekend in an extraordinary campaign owing to the coronavirus outbreak. 

Despite all the setbacks, the league lived up to its billing as the best among Europe's top five, with drama down to the last day.

New stars were born and many lit up the league with consistent performances, among them; Wolves' Adama Traore.

The former Barcelona youth academy graduate was the highlight of Wolves' impressive campaign with his pace and speed too much to handle for the defenders. 

But was he the fastest during the 2019/20 season?

The winger, unfortunately, came second behind Manchester City's Kyle Walker, who is also known for his powerful runs.

Manchester United had three players in the top tne list, led by youngster Mason Greenwood and summer signing Aaron Wan-Bisssaka. Fred was perhaps the most surprising inclusion from the Reds.

Here is the list in full

10. Phil Foden (23.07mph vs Aston Villa on October 26)
9. Fred (23.17mph vs Everton on December 15)
8. Shane Long (23.21mph vs Newcastle on December 8)
7. Ainsley Maitland-Niles (23.27mph vs Manchester City on December 15)
6. Caglar Soyuncu (23.33mph vs Crystal Palace on November 3)
5. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (23.36mph vs West Ham on November 3)
4. Trezeguet (23.36mph vs Liverpool on July 5)
3. Mason Greenwood (23.36mph vs Everton on March 1)

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

Babajide made a Stunning Revelation about the Forthcoming Governorship Election in Edo State

Babajide a veteran journalist, while speaking on the popular program “Journalist Hangout” on TVC news Friday August 7, made a stunning revelation about the forthcoming governorship election in Edo state, says all political parties should shown violence because election is not a do or die affair. Babajide while reacting said “ I have to say I have my fears about these forthcoming election, and I hope my fears does not come past. As we can see the shenanigans in Edo state it is now visible that it is no more Oshiomole against Obaseki, it is now PDP against APC which could be devastating in the light of the politics going on now.
