The Premier League's fastest players so far this season, there's no room for three 'ones'
Tottenham Hotspur defender Micky Van De Ven is statistically the fastest player in the Premier League this season, leaving behind names known for their speed.
The Dutchman joined Tottenham from Wolfsburg for around €45m in the summer and has been a real revelation in north London.
Van De Ven was an ever-present during Spurs' 10-game unbeaten run at the start of the season but picked up a serious injury during their chaotic 4-1 defeat to Chelsea in November.
He missed more than two months of action but his return against Manchester United in January has been welcomed by Spurs, with his pace of recovery crucial to Ange Postecoglou's backline.
In new data published by Sky Sports, the 22-year-old has been named the fastest player in the Premier League this season, having reached a speed of 37.38 km/h.
Luton winger Chiedozie Ogbene was the second fastest this season, with the former Rotherham star clocking a speed of 36.93km/h.
Ogbene's speed was on display as he 'tortured' Dan Burn during Saturday's dramatic 4-4 draw with Newcastle United.
Wolves star Pedro Neto was third fastest, coming just behind Ogbene with a top speed of 36.86km/h.
The Portuguese forward is enjoying a fine season for Gary O'Neil's side and has contributed 10 assists and two goals in just 14 appearances this season.
Liverpool midfield maestro Dominik Szoboszlai was next at 36.76km/h, narrowly edging out Dara O'Shea in fifth place.
The Burnley defender joins compatriot Ogbene in the top five with his top speed of 36.73km/h.
Anthony Gordon was sixth fastest at 36.68km/h, while Everton midfielder Amadou Onana rounded out the top seven at 36.65km/h.
The surprise is the absence of stars like Kyle Walker, Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka, who are known for their speed. /Telegraph/
