Fastest players in the Champions League so far REVEALED: Liverpool have TWO speedy stars including surprise veteran - as former Man United target tops the table

Wrap your head around this one: Mohamed Salah is faster than the quickest Premier League player ever. Well, sort of.

That's according to new data emerging from the Champions League, which says that the 33-year-old is speedier than Tottenham's ultra-athletic Micky van de Ven so far this campaign.

Salah breaks comfortably into the top 15 fastest stars in the Champions League this campaign, but top spot goes to a striker who has previously been tracked by Manchester United.

Players' top speeds are measured by GPS vests and UEFA share the rankings for the paciest men around the continent.
