Bayern Munich star Alphonso Davies joined Heidenheim's Eren Dinkçi at the top of the 2023/24 Bundesliga speed charts, clocking up 36.41 km/h (22.62 mph) in his side's Matchday 32 defeat by VfB Stuttgart.

Davies hit his lung-busting stride in the ninth minute as he chased - and reached - a long ball forward down the left from team-mate Eric Dier. 

His eye-watering sprint into the Stuttgart half means he now joins Heidenheim's Dinkçi at the top of this season's most jet-heeled Bundesliga players. The Werder Bremen loanee hit the same speed earlier on in the campaign.

The Bundesliga's five fastest players in 2023/24:

1.
Alphonso Davies (36.41 km/h)
2.
Eren Dinkçi (36.41 km/h)
3.
Silas (36.15 km/h)
4.
Maxence Lacroix (36.13 km/h)
5.
Linton Maina (36.1 km/h)
