Who were the fastest and slowest players in the Premier League?
Speed has become such a defining aspect of Premier League football for years now. Whether it's lightning-quick wingers tearing down the flanks or centre-backs chasing down counterattacks, speed can be the difference between winning and that in mind, let's have a look at the fastest players in the Premier League this Hotspur's Micky van de Ven was the fastest player in the top-flight during this campaign, reaching a top speed of 23.1 miles per hourManchester City midfielder-turned-right-back Matheus Nunes was the second-fastest, just ahead of Nottingham Forest's speed merchant Anthony only does Bryan Mbeumo run a lot and sprint a lot, he's fast too…the whole package! As for the slowest players, the above data looks at outfield players that racked up at least 10 full games' worth of minutes – to give them a chance to build up some that metric, Wolves' 35-year-old defender Craig Dawson was the slowest player, reaching a top speed of 18.4 miles per City's Bernardo Silva and West Ham's Tomas Soucek may be among the slowest players, but they were also two of the hardest runners - covering over seven miles per 90 minutes - which shows they were built for stamina over speed.

Dawson in talks to cancel Wolves contract
Wolves are in talks with Craig Dawson to cancel the defender's contract at Molineux. The centre-back has been told he does not feature in boss Vitor Pereira's plans and has been left out of Wolves' Premier League squad. Dawson has six months left on his contract and there were tentative talks on deadline day with Leicester City over a swap deal for Conor Coady. Wolves signed centre-backs Emmanuel Agbadou from Lens and Nasser Djiga from Red Star Belgrade in the transfer window, pushing Dawson further down the pecking order. "I gave the information in advance to the club that if we bring in another centre-back, I will not have space for Craig in the squad," Pereira said: "This is something that I spoke with the club (about) for a long time. I had a conversation with the player and I respect the player a lot, and I respect his career, but his profile is not the profile that I'm looking to build the team around." Dawson, 34, has made 61 appearances, scoring twice, since joining from West Ham two years ago.
