STATS: A West Ham defender has equaled the fastest speed recorded in the Premier League this season

When you think of pacy right backs, you'd be led to believe that Arsenal's Hector Bellerin, Southampton's Nathaniel Clyne or Manchester United's makeshift full-back Antonio Valencia would top the list.

Well you'd be wrong. Apparently last weekend, it was West Ham's on-loan defender Carl Jenkinson who matched the fastest speed recorded by any player in the Premier League this season. The right back, on loan from Arsenal, reached a speed of 35.3 km/h during the Hammers' 0-0 draw with QPR at the weekend according to stats from PremierLeague.com. That pace equaled that of Newcastle's Moussa Sissoko who clocked up 35.3 km/h earlier this season. The fastest five recorded speeds of the campaign thus far are. 1. Carl Jenkinson - 35.3 km/h 2. Moussa Sissoko - 35.3 km/h 3. Moussa Sissoko (again) - 35.2 km/h 4. Leandro Bacuna - 35.2 km/h 5. Wilfried Zaha - 35.2 km/h
