The makers of FIFA 2016 have rated Theo Walcott as the fastest player in the Premier League - but the quickest man in England's top flight so far this season is in fact Leicester's Jamie Vardy.
The pacey England international clocked 35.44km/hr in his side's 2-1 win at West Ham.
Claudio Ranieri's men have got off to a fast start in the Premier League and their players have registered four of the five top speeds seen in the division in 2015/16 so far.
