Monstrous is the record achieved by Micky Van De Ven. The Dutch defender, born in 2001, has become the fastest player ever recorded in the Premier League, reaching 37.38 Km/h (in the match against Brentford). Consider that when Usain Bolt set the world record, he maintained an average of 37.52 Km/h; a fact that gives an idea of the result achieved by the Tottenham footballer.

New Premier League speed record: Van De Van surpasses Walker
Van De Ven has broken the barrier of 37.31 kilometers per hour, previously set by Kyle Walker. The Premier announced the new speed record of the Dutch center-back (he covered 10.38 m per second).
The Spurs fans have nicknamed him the 'Rolls Royce'. Despite his 193 centimeters, he manages to have an amazing engine that sets him apart from all other defenders with his characteristics. His speed allows him to be skilful in recoveries, especially in open field. In addition to being the fastest in the Premier, he is among the best for other particular skills.
A total of 881 passes, with 94% accuracy in passing. In terms of duels, he has come out victorious 68% of the time, with 25 tackles made. His size allows him to be effective in aerial play: 45% of aerial duels won, with 8 balls intercepted. Paired with former Atalanta player Romero, he has become a linchpin of Postecoglu's eleven. With both center-backs on the field (for at least 45 minutes), Tottenham is unbeaten with 9 wins and 4 draws in the Premier. With both on the field, 29 goals have been scored for the Spurs and 15 conceded. After the injury Van De Van has returned in great form, contributing to the team's improvement. The 40 million investment by the London club can today be considered perfectly successful.
