The 20 slowest Premier League players - revealed.

After we enjoyed revealing the players who have reached the fastest top speed so far this season,
it seems only correct to now turn our attentions to the Premier League's slow coaches.
Opta tracks the top speed of every player in the top flight. Here's the 20 whose fastest...is slowest.
We've taken out goalkeepers from this list, and only included players to feature in three or more
games for their club.
We begin with a new arrival to England...
20.
20. Ilkay Gündogan, Manchester City, top speed: 30.15km/h
Who could blame the German international to be getting back up to speed after a serious knee
injury ruled him out for four months.
After arriving at City from Borussia Dortmund in a £21m deal this summer, Gundogan finally
made his 'perfect' debut last month and has become an instant hit with fans.

what it was now that he's 34 years old.
18.
of Jose Mourinho and this stat is unlikely to help his cause either.
17.
Max Gradel, Bournemouth, 30.06km/h
Ivorian nearly left in transfer window such was his dismay with being a bit-part player for Eddie Howe. While he has started Bournemouth's two EFL Cup contests, he is yet to force his way into Howe's
first-team plans in the Premier League and looks likely to be linked with a move away again in January.
16.
James Ward-Prowse, Southampton, 29.99km/h
The 21-year-old has started all three of Southampton's Europa League games to date - including
the 1-0 loss to Inter Milan last week - but has been limited to time off the bench in the league.
15.
Luis Hernández, Leicester, 29.92km/h
Defending champions made the Spanish defender their first signing of the summer. Has played every
minute of Leicester's last two Champions League wins, but also featured in Leicester's humbling 3-0
loss to Chelsea earlier this month.
14.
Harry Maguire, Hull, 29.91km/h
The defender was linked with a move to fellow Premier League new-boys Middlesbrough in August
having been instrumental to their promotion-winning season under Steve Bruce.
Has this season been present for Hull in heavy defeats to Liverpool (5-1), Arsenal (1-4) and
Bournemouth (6-1). Things can only get better for the 23-year-old.
13.
Santi Cazorla, Arsenal, 29.9km/h
Despite lacking blistering pace, Arsenal look a more fluid and coherent team with Cazorla in their ranks which is why his absence against Middlesbrough at the weekend was deeply felt.
12.
again been questioned, the former Spurs man remains an accomplished passer of the ball.
11.
Mohamed Elneny, Arsenal, 29.86
Made his first Premier League start against Middlesbrough, the summer signing didn't pull up any trees in their goalless draw but was a steady head in the centre of the park for Arsenal.
10.
if he isn't the quickest.
29-years-old has more recently started West Brom's U23s side in the EFL Trophy match against
Luton.

to Ronald Koeman's flying start at Goodison Park.
6.
Lucas, Liverpool, 29.37km/h
Brazilian nearly joined Galatasaray in the summer transfer window before Jurgen Klopp blocked
the move. Has since been limited to bit-part role at Anfield and could leave in January.
5.
Olivier Giroud, Arsenal, 29.19km/h
Has struggled with injury this season but has subsequently fallen down the pecking order with the
emergence of Alexis Sanchez at No 9.
4.
Shaun Maloney, Hull, 28.87km/h
After scoring in his first appearance of the season in a win over Swansea, midfielder's last appearance
came in Hull's 6-1 loss at Bournemouth earlier this month.
3.
Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea, 28.73km/h
Has struggled to nail down a first team place under Antonio Conte, and is currently injured with a thigh problem.

19.
Leon Britton, Swansea, 30.13km/h
A stalwart of the Swansea set-up having spent much of the last 13
years in Wales, Britton'space isn't
what it was now that he's 34 years old.
18.
Memphis Depay, Manchester United, 30.12km/h
Can this Dutchman get a break? It's been a sorry tale of affairs for
Depay since the arrivalof Jose Mourinho and this stat is unlikely to help his cause either.
17.
Max Gradel, Bournemouth, 30.06km/h
Ivorian nearly left in transfer window such was his dismay with being a bit-part player for Eddie Howe. While he has started Bournemouth's two EFL Cup contests, he is yet to force his way into Howe's

Has this season been present for Hull in heavy defeats to Liverpool (5-1), Arsenal (1-4) and
Bournemouth (6-1). Things can only get better for the 23-year-old.

Despite lacking blistering pace, Arsenal look a more fluid and coherent team with Cazorla in their ranks which is why his absence against Middlesbrough at the weekend was deeply felt.
12.
Tom Huddlestone, Hull, 29.87km/h
Pace and Huddlestone have never gone hand-in-hand. A player whose
weight has time and timeagain been questioned, the former Spurs man remains an accomplished passer of the ball.
11.
Made his first Premier League start against Middlesbrough, the summer signing didn't pull up any trees in their goalless draw but was a steady head in the centre of the park for Arsenal.
10.
Andy King, Leicester, 29.7km/h
The Welsh international remains a consistent performer for the defending champions this season - evenif he isn't the quickest.
9.
Craig Gardner, West Brom, 29.62km/h
Started the opening two games of West Brom's campaign before dropping
to the bench. At29-years-old has more recently started West Brom's U23s side in the EFL Trophy match against
Luton.
8.
Hal Robson-Kanu, West Brom, 29.49km/h
Who cares if the West Brom striker is lacking in a little speed?
Remember that goal he struck forWales at Euro 2016 - of course you do.
7.
Gareth Barry, Everton, 29.4km/h
Everton midfielder celebrated his 600th Premier League appearance
last month and has been keyto Ronald Koeman's flying start at Goodison Park.

Peter Crouch, Stoke City, 28.58km/h
Never been a striker known for his pace, Crouch has only started one Premier League game thisseason and is yet to score.
1.
Charlie Adam, Stoke City, 26.72
A player who has built his reputation on dead-ball delivery rather
than athleticism, Adam is officiallythe slowest player in the Premier League. Congratulations Chaz.
