Victor MosesNigeria winger, Victor Moses, has been ranked among the fastest players in the Barclays Premier League thus far this season as he is placed in an unbelievable fifth position.

Stats made available by EA SPORTS on Friday evening confirmed the West Ham attacker as the fifth fastest player in the League with a top speed of 35km/h.

After failing to nail down a regular place at Chelsea, the 25-year-old moved to Upton Park on a season long loan in the summer.

Now the former Crystal Palace man has been rewarded for an outstanding start to life in East London after his one goal and two assists helped pushed Slaven Bilic’s team to sixth place on the log.

Moses’ record is only bettered by Leicester City duo Jamie Vardy and Jeffrey Schlupp, Sunderland defender Billy Jones and another Foxes player, Marc Albrighton.

What this mean is that the Nigerian is rated above some of the very best players in the EPL such as Alexis Sanchez, Eden Hazard, Willian, Theo Walcott and Sergio Aguero.

Moses, who has already made 24 appearances for the Super Eagles, opted out of the last two international friendly games against DR Congo and Cameroon as a precautionary move against injury.
