Top sprinter in Premier League this season revealed - and he's English

It is a surprising name at the top of the list of Premier League players with the most sprints so far this season

HARRY KANE REVEALS HIS CHOICE FOR PREMIER LEAGUE PLAYER OF THE SEASON

The Premier League has its fair share of speed demons terrorising defenders.

The likes of Raheem Sterling, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Marcus Rashford all use their pace to great effect to create attacking opportunities.

But Sky Sports statistics showing the amount of sprints by players in the Premier League this season show a defender at the top of the list.

Leicester full-back Ben Chilwell has made 609 sprints so far this campaign, well clear of Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah who is next on the list.

Chilwell has enjoyed an impressive campaign with his engine and ability to match tricky wingers making him a top performer for the Foxes.

He has worked his way into Gareth Southgate's England plans and has also been linked with a big money summer move to Manchester City .

Andrew Robertson is the only other defender on the list, coming in third of seven with 531 sprints at full-back for Liverpool, just behind team-mate Salah.

Raheem Sterling is next up after his impressive season for title-chasing City, during which he has bagged 15 Premier League goals and nine assists.
