Africa-Press – Gambia. <\/strong><\/span>Gambia Interantional Yankuba Minteh of Brighton has been named by Yahoo Sports as one of the fastest players in the premier league\u2019s opening weeks.<\/b><\/p>\n

In its reflection of the opening week of the EPL, just before the current first international break of the season, Yahoo Sports assessed the premier league\u2019s early pacesetter in terms of goal scoring as well as its fastest players.<\/p>\n

Erling Haaland leads the early running for the Golden Boot, while a revitalised Jack Grealish tops the Playmaker standings after a good start at Everton. But who have been the league\u2019s paciest players in the opening weeks?<\/p>\n

The five fastest players in the Premier League in the 2025\/26 season so far.<\/b>
\n5. Anthony Elanga \u2013 Newcastle United (36.0 km\/h)<\/b><\/p>\n

Anthony Elanga recorded the third-fastest speed in the Premier League last season and has picked up where he left off.<\/p>\n

The Swedish speedster made the move from Nottingham Forest to Newcastle in a \u00a355m deal in the summer, where his threat in transition will offer a new weapon to Eddie Howe\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

4. Yankuba Minteh \u2013 Brighton & Hove Albion (36.1 km\/h)<\/b><\/p>\n

Brighton have found form in recent weeks, following a 6-0 Carabao Cup thrashing of Oxford with an upset win over Manchester City in the Premier League. Yankuba Minteh has built on an impressive pre-season with some electric early displays.<\/p>\n

3. Daniel James \u2013 Leeds United (36.1 km\/h)<\/b><\/p>\n

Daniel James has returned to the Premier League this season, following Leeds United\u2019s promotion back into the top tier. The Welshman\u2019s pace has been a huge threat for some time and his ability to break quickly will benefit Daniel Farke\u2019s newly-promoted side.<\/p>\n

2. Bryan Mbeumo \u2013 Manchester United (36.3 km\/h)<\/b><\/p>\n

Bryan Mbeumo also featured in last season\u2019s five-fastest Premier League players and has clocked the second-quickest time over the opening three gameweeks. The Cameroonian joined Manchester United from Brentford this summer, where he will be tasked with improving the athleticism and goal threat of Ruben Amorim\u2019s side.<\/p>\n

1. Jackson Tchatchoua \u2013 Wolves (37.3 km\/h)<\/b><\/p>\n

A new arrival on these shores, Jackson Tchatchoua signed for Wolves from Hellas Verona in the summer window.<\/p>\n

The Belgian-born Cameroon international has featured for just 118 minutes in the league to date, but has already shown his speed. He has posted comfortably the quickest top-speed in the Premier League in 2025\/26, at 37.3 km\/h.<\/p>\n

Wolves will hope the 23-year-old is the perfect replacement for Nelson Semedo at wing-back.<\/p>\n
