Ghana defender Jeffrey Schlupp has been clocked as the second fastest player in the English Premier League this season.

EA Sports' Player Performance Index shows the Leicester City player has a top speed of 21.9 miles per hour.

He is behind his team-mate Jamie Vardy and Manchester United striker Anthony Martial who have been clocked as the joint fastest players.

They recorded a speed of 22 miles per hour over five seconds with Vardy setting the pace in August in Leicester's 2-1 win at West Ham.
