West Ham’s Mohammed Kudus has been discussing some of the fastest players in the Premier League.
The Ghanaian is a real speedster, and speaking to thePremier League’s YouTube channel, he’s been comparing his pace stat on the new EA FC game to some of the Premier League’s quickest players.
Kudus was asked whether or not he thinks he’s faster than Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, and, intriguingly, Kudus stated that he thinks Salah is quicker.
However, according to EA Sports’ metrics, Kudus is actually the faster player between the two.
Mohammed Kudus reckons Mohamed Salah is quicker than him
The West Ham star spoke about the Egyptian’s pace.
“Mohamed Salah?” Kudus was asked.
“I’m lower,” Kudus said.
“You should back yourself brother because you’re higher?” The host said.
“Really?” Kudus responded.
Mohamed Salah is rapid
EA Sports may have Kudus down as being quicker than Salah, but it’s hard to agree.
The Egyptian has been one of the quickest players in the Premier League for a long time now, and even into his 30s, he’s not slowing down.
Salah is still one of the most frightening players in the Premier League on the counter-attack, and it’s genuinely difficult to think of many other players in the division who can match him in terms of pace.
Kudus is no slouch himself, of course, but in a head-to-head race, Salah may have what it takes to get the better of the West Ham star.
Salah’s speed is one of his most important attributes, and so many of his goals for Liverpool have been carved out by quick runs in behind or rapid breaks on the counter.
Liverpool are a team that thrive on pace in the attack, and Salah is one of the Reds’ very best players for that reason.
