REVEALED - The Premier League's fastest players: Antonio Rudiger beats Mohamed Salah to top the table with a sprint speed of 22.8mph... and which other centre back is among the pack of super-fast forwards in the top six?

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has the highest recorded top speed in the Premier League so far this season.

The 29-year-old recorded a top speed of 22.80mph during the Blues' 1-1 draw against Brighton.

Rudiger contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire this summer, and the Blues cannot currently extend his deal due to sanctions placed on their owner Roman Abramovich.

His exit will come as a blow for boss Thomas Tuchel from a defensive aspect but it appears the west Londoners are also set to miss his pace.
