Pace is one of the most lethal weapons a footballer can have in today’s game, especially in the physically demanding Premier League. From explosive wingers to powerful defenders, this list reveals the ten players who recorded the highest sprint speeds during the 2024/25 season – ranked from slowest to fastest.

10. Erling Haaland – 36.01 km/h

Known more for his power and goalscoring, Haaland's pace is often underrated. Standing 6'5", the Manchester City striker showed he’s just as dangerous on the break, clocking an impressive 36.01 km/h.

9. Emmanuel Agbadou – 36.15 km/h

The Wolves centre-back makes a surprising appearance with his raw speed. Despite his imposing 6'4" frame, Agbadou reached 36.15 km/h, proving size and speed can coexist.

8. Abdukodir Khusanov – 36.27 km/h

A January signing from Lens, Khusanov only played six league games but made them count. The Manchester City youngster showed blistering acceleration despite limited minutes, recording 36.27 km/h.

7. Wilson Odobert – 36.36 km/h

The Tottenham Hotspur winger displayed serious promise at just 20 years old. Odobert’s rapid bursts down the left flank saw him reach 36.36 km/h, making him one to watch for the future.

6. Yankuba Minteh – 36.39 km/h

Brighton’s Minteh, another 20-year-old sensation, has quickly made his mark with pace and purpose. His top speed of 36.39 km/h reflects his dynamic attacking potential.

5. Carlos Forbs – 36.57 km/h

Signed on loan from Ajax, Forbs had limited game-time at Wolves but still impressed. In just 233 minutes of Premier League action, he clocked a remarkable 36.57 km/h, showcasing elite-level pace.

4. Bryan Mbeumo – 36.63 km/h

With Ivan Toney gone, Mbeumo stepped up and delivered a career-best season. His lightning speed (36.63 km/h) helped him notch 20 goals and 8 assists, making him a target for top clubs.

3. Anthony Elanga – 36.66 km/h

After leaving Manchester United, Elanga has flourished at Nottingham Forest. Though he didn’t top his previous 36.91 km/h, his 36.66 km/h sprint solidifies him as one of the league’s fastest attackers.

2. Matheus Nunes – 36.72 km/h

A less expected name high on the list, Nunes showed his explosive side for Manchester City. His sprint against Brighton reached 36.72 km/h, proving he’s more than just a workhorse in midfield.
