Arsenal’s £15m target tops Premier League’s fastest players: Liverpool and Chelsea stars strangely low

1: Moussa Sissoko (Newcastle United) – 35.3km per hour

Surprise name at the top of the pile, Arsenal’s January midfield target Moussa Sissoko.

Though the Gunners are targeting the Frenchman you’d think it was more for his robust midfield presence than the speed with which he roams forward.

Though his pace can’t hurt, knowing Arsenal they’ll be caught on the break a few times and perhaps his speed could help prevent the kind of goals they’ve been so susceptible to in the big games.
