To the eye, many would believe that Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah is the fastest player in the Premier League, but he is second to Chelsea ’s Antonio Rudiger this season.
The German defender has been in the headlines all season long for the Blues, namely down to his great form and contract situation. The former Roma centre-back’s deal runs out at the end of the season and is not expected to sign an extension despite the Blues’ best wishes.
Wages have been the reported main issue for Rudiger, and top European sides have been closely monitoring his situation in hope that they can recruit one of the best defenders in world football over the past two seasons on a free transfer. Rudiger’s aggression, strength and athleticism has helped him excel at Stamford Bridge, as well as his pace.
