Andy Robertson has been named one of Liverpool’s quickest players in the Premier League in the 2025/26 season so far, along with another soon-to-be free agent, Ibrahima Konate.Data revealed in February showed that Hugo Ekitike was the Reds’ fastest player in the Champions League, clocking a speed of 34.91km/h.However, the Frenchman has not been able to crack the top three in the English top-flight, yet 32-year-old Robertson has, sitting just behind Konate and Jeremie Frimpong. What’s your score prediction for the game… 🔮Credit: Michael Regan/Getty Images Jeremie Frimpong is Liverpool’s fastest Premier League playerSpeaking to BBC Sport, the Scottish left-back was asked to decide who had been the club’s quickest star in the Premier League this term.After guessing wrong, Robertson was told by the interviewer that it was actually Frimpong in a game against Arsenal.However, the former Hull City man still took third place after reaching 22 miles per hour against Burnley.The interviewer said: “The answer is Jeremie Frimpong.
Number two, Ibrahima Konate, 22.1 miles per hour against City.“And number three is yourself [Robertson] at 22 miles per hour against Burnley.”Arne Slot will be concerned by Ibrahima Konate and Andy Robertson being among quickest playersSlot has spoken about the importance of speed in his forward line previously, of course mentioning PSG when doing so.He said in December: “As we can all see, he’s [Ekitike] a good finisher, he’s very comfortable on the ball. But what stands out for me is he belongs to the fastest players we have.“That was one of the things I wanted to add to this team – incredible pace.
Because I see many of the top teams have one, two, three individuals that have pace that is exceptional.“We faced Paris Saint-Germain last season, where we had to face [Ousmane] Dembele, [Bradley] Barcola, [Desire] Doue – all these incredibly fast players. So that is what we’ve tried to add with him.”But with Robertson tipped to leave and Konate apparently on his way out as well, Liverpool are at risk of losing some of their quickest players in the coming months for free, which probably won’t go down well with Slot.Join Our NewsletterReceive a digest of our best Liverpool content each week direct to your mailbox
