Who is Arsenal’s fastest player?

Who is Arsenal’s fastest player? The figures also produced one particularly surprising name near the top of Arsenal’s match-day speed rankings at the Amex.

Without Gabriel Martinelli to call upon, they had no obvious escape route over the top from Brighton’s relentless press. Out of curiosity, I looked at the running stats from the game, and the list of the fastest players immediately stood out. Arsenal had only one player in the top five, Christos Tzolis , who reached a top speed of 31.4km/h. Malick Yalcouye was quickest overall at 32km/h. Arsenal had four players in the top 10. Three were Tzolis, Martin Odegaard , at 31.1km/h, and Bukayo Saka , at 30.9km/h. The fourth, and Arsenal’s fourth-fastest player of the afternoon, was rather more surprising.

That prompted another question: who has actually been Arsenal’s fastest player this season? The answer did not play at the Amex because he is out with a hamstring injury . Cristhian Mosquera tops the list with a speed of 34.8km/h. What is also notable is that 10 players on the list below have exceeded the top speed Arsenal were able to produce at Brighton.
