Liverpool duo named as two of the quickest in Premier League

Liverpool's Mohamed Salah has been clocked as the second-quickest player in the Premier League this season.

The Reds forward has enjoyed a remarkable campaign, helping the team stay in touch with Manchester City in the fight for top spot. Salah has netted 20 top-flight goals and registered 10 assists, which are league-leading and second-placed totals respectively.

The 29-year-old's productivity in the final third is enough to make him a dangerous opponent, but his searing speed makes him almost impossible to defend against in full flow.

According to Opta (h/t the MailOnline ), Salah has tipped the speed gun to an impressive 22.74mph this season, a mark only bettered by Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger. The Blues stopper clocked in at 22.80mph during his team's 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.

Adama Traore matched Salah's best pace during his time at Wolverhampton Wanderers, although he has since moved to Barcelona.

A surprising name for some slots in in fourth in the form of Liverpool centre-back Ibrahima Konate, although his speed of 22.49mph is a little short of the top three. The defender has only made eight outings for the Reds in the Premier League, although he has impressed when given opportunities.

Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins and Leicester City's Patson Daka are in joint fifth with a top speed of 22.43mph.
