Arsenal star Jorginho seems to be really impressed with the speed of one of his teammates.
The Gunners have one of the youngest squads in the Premier League, and all of them look extremely hungry every time they step on the pitch.
One attribute every player in the world would love to have is pace. Jorginho is one of the slower ones, but he has rubbed shoulders with a few rapid footballers over the years.
The Italian has now had his say on one of his Arsenal teammates who’s so fast that ‘nobody can catch him’.
Jorginho names the Arsenal player who’s absolutely rapid
Arsenal have a fantastic attack, don’t they?
The Gunners have scored more goals than any other club in the Premier League this season, and all the teams they face expect a tough game every time.
Bukayo Saka is Arsenal’s main man, and he is quick. However, Gabriel Martinelli is faster, and Jorginho seems really impressed with his pace.
The Italian and Martinelli filmed an episode of UnClassic Commentary for Arsenal’s social channels, and they rewatched the best bits from the Gunners’ 3-1 win over Liverpool last month.
Martinelli had a very good game that evening. Early on, the Brazilian showed his brilliant pace when he breezed past Ibrahima Konate after a long throw from David Raya.
Commentating about that, Jorginho said: “He’ll (Konate) never reach him. Martinelli sprinting on the left wing. If he starts sprinting, forget it!”
Speaking about Martinelli’s pace later on, Jorginho added: “He turned on the turbo. Forget it, no one can catch him now.”
Who is Arsenal’s fastest player?
Arsenal have always had fast players. Arsene Wenger loved them back in the day and Mikel Arteta is a huge fan now as well.
When you think of the fastest players at the Emirates right now, the likes of Gabriel Martinelli, Bukayo Saka and Reiss Nelson all come to mind.
But, who is the fastest?
According to data from the Premier League, the highest recorded speed by an Arsenal player was Martinelli’s sprint against Sheffield United. He clocked a top speed of 36.33 kmph.
Leandro Trossard has also publicly claimed that Martinelli is the fastest player at Arsenal right now.
