Liverpool have signed the fastest player in the Premier League
Liverpool have signed the fastest player in the Premier League.
What a summer it has been for the Reds so far. Richard Hughes was under a lot of scrutiny leading up to it. But he's handled the pressure really well.

This was always going to be a summer of transition. Which is why it was so important for Liverpool to keep hold of their key stars. That's why Hughes ensured both Virgil van Dijk and Mohamed Salah extended their stays at Anfield before the summer had even begun.
Then he navigated the window superbly, bringing in key acquisitions like Florian Wirtz and Milos Kerkez ahead of many rivals.
In the transfer market Hughes made the best choice possible signing Hugo Ekitike, despite others like Benjamin Sesko and Viktor Gyokeres being available.
With two weeks to go until the window shuts close, Hughes still has time to bring in more reinforcements. The likelihood is that Liverpool will probably add at least one or two if not three more signings.
They're still waiting on a deal for Alexander Isak and Marc Guehi. Meanwhile, a winger is also being explored by the club.
It could be a really exciting end to the window. There are clearly multiple deals being in the works for Liverpool.
But it's also important to take notice of the deals Liverpool have already completed. Most notably one of the most exciting transfers of the summer that went under the radar was Jeremie Frimpong.
Liverpool signed him for £30m and he's proven to be a bargain so far. There were doubts about him coming in as the replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold but he's quashed them aside with his brilliant performances so far.
Hugo Ekitike has probably been the most impressive signing for Liverpool so far but after him it's clearly Frimpong who takes the spotlight.
He scored on his competitive debut in the Community Shield and has looked like a lively threat. He's also handled the defensive situations really well.
And he's officially currently the fastest player in the Premier League. As per FotMob Frimpong recorded the fastest top speed (36.1km.h) in the entire competition after the first round.
So, essentially Liverpool have signed the fastest player in the league in Frimpong and that's something that they needed a lot.
Last season Arne Slot's side lacked speed, with Frimpong they certainly have it again.
