Is Erling Haaland the world’s fastest footballer?The Borussia Dortmund star, who turns 21 in July, doesn’t possess the typical physique of a lightning-quick player.Haaland is 6ft 4in tall and stocky - and yet his pace is unbelievable.The Norway international broke this season’s Bundesliga speed record on Saturday during Dortmund’s 3-2 away win over Stuttgart.He hit a top speed of 36.04 km/h (22.39 mph) at the Mercedes-Benz Arena during a counter-attack.p1f307b1cpva81c4l1kpt1cmmde4e.jpgp1f307m3jq3ohgo54c514dbqlsr.jpgThe previous 2020-21 Bundesliga speed record was held by Borussia Mönchengladbach's Marcus Thuram, who registered a top speed of 35.97 km/h.Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies, who hit 35.95 km/h earlier this season, is now third on the list, while the full-back's teammate Kingsley Coman is fourth after reaching a top speed of 35.68 km/h.p1f308106kop02as1ion599p86t.jpgWe’ve seen Haaland produce some unbelievable sprints over the past couple of years.Last season, for example, he stunned fans with this box-to-box sprint against Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

The world-class youngster covered 60 metres in just 6.64 seconds. That’s remarkably quick.

But after his record-breaking sprint against Stuttgart, Haaland might well be the world’s fastest striker.

Mbappe hit 36 km/h again in February while playing for PSG against Marseille.

But Haaland’s top speed of 36.04 km/h is marginally quicker and might just make him the world’s current fastest footballer.
