Divock Origi was clocked as Liverpool's fastest player in the Premier League this season.

The Belgium striker outpaced the likes of Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane with a top speed of 35.04km per hour.

Origi, who contributed some crucial goals to Liverpool's title challenge, was ranked eighth across the top-flight by Opta.

Salah was named in 11th place with Fulham's Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who was on loan from Manchester United, leading the way with a top speed of 35.32km per hour. Bizarrely, Salah found himself two places behind Fulham goalkeeper Sergio Rico.
