Speaking on the Sky Sports Football YouTube channel, Rodrigo Moreno has claimed that Dan James is the quickest player at Leeds United.

The Spaniard was taking part in a challenge where he had to guess the highest-rated player in a number of attributes on FIFA 22, and when it came to pace, Rodrigo thought there could only be one winner.

The attacker says that James is clearly the fastest player at Leeds United, despite the fact there are speedsters such as Raphinha and Jack Harrison in the side, while he also claims that James could be the fastest player in the Premier League.

What’s been said?

Rodrigo spoke about James.

“Dan James. Yeah, Dan is, when he starts, he would win a race easily. He is clearly the fastest, he’s maybe the fastest in the league. Top five in the league for sure,” Rodrigo said.

Quickest in the league?

There’s no doubt that Dan James is absolutely rapid, and very few players can catch him when he gets going.

However, Rodrigo says that James is one of the five fastest players in the Premier League, but that simply isn’t the case.

Indeed, according to stats compiled by Opta, James isn’t even in the top six fastest Premier League players this season, with Antonio Rudiger, Mo Salah, Adama Traore, Ibrahima Konate, Ollie Watkins and Patson Daka all recording higher top speeds than the Welshman so far.

James is lightning quick, and his diminutive stature makes him look even quicker, but he still has a small way to go if he wants to be crowned the Premier League’s top speedster.
