The top ten fastest players in the Premier League from the 2015-16 season have been revealed, but who makes the cut?
WITH the new Premier League season fast approaching, it's as good a time as any to count down the players who hit the highest speeds during the incredible 2015-16 season.
Top flight speedsters Jesus Navas and Leicester flier Jamie Vardy both figure to feature highly, but will they be a part of the elite when it comes to the ultimate top speed, rather than pure acceleration?
In a respectable tenth place comes now-relegated Norwich striker Cameron Jerome, who couldn't help keen Alex Neil's Canaries maintain their top flight status, despite terrorising defences with speeds of 21.7mph.
Just ahead of the English forward - by the tiniest of margins - with a highest speed of around 21.7mph were no fewer than FOUR Prem aces.
Bournemouth’s Joshua King, West Ham loanee Victor Moses, Manchester City's Jesus Navas and Sunderland defender Billy Jones all edged out Jerome.

Slightly ahead out those pace-merchants is Liverpool forward Divock Origi who reached an impressive 21.8mph last term, alongside Tottenham full back Kyle Walker.
We're into the business end now though with just two spots to fill? Will any of Leicester's speedy title-winning heroes make the cut?
Well, in second place comes the Foxes pacey left winger Jeffrey Schlupp - reaching the speed of 21.9mph during Claudio Ranieri's Foxes' incredible campaign.
However, it was Manchester United forward Anthony Martial and England man Vardy who racked up the top speed in the Premier League last term - both reaching the incredible speed of 22mph.
Vardy’s impressive pace was recorded in Leicester's vital 2-1 win at West Ham in August to maintain the club's unlikely 100 per cent start to the 2015-16 season.
Meanwhile, his rapid sprint was matched by France international Martial in United's 3-3 draw against Newcastle at St James' Park.
So there you have it, the benchmark has been set at 22mph. Can anyone top that next season?
