The fastest player at Euro 2016 thus far is an absolute lightning bolt

We shudder to think of what this French squad could do to an English defence.

England’s defence has singled out as a weak link as Roy Hodgson’s men look for glory at the Euros.

The Three Lions shipped a sloppy late goal against a poor Russia team and made the Wales victory more difficult that it should have been.

But with a team of France’s calibre against English legs that have endured a long and punishing Premier League season, must have fans worrying.

Paul Pogba, Antoine Griezmann and Moussa Sissoko are all full of pace, but it’s another France international who has officially clocked the top speed at this summer’s tournament thus far.

Bayern Munich winger Kingsley Coman, on-loan from Juventus, is the holder of that particular honour after he registered an almost unbelievable 32.8 km/h against Switzerland on Sunday night.

That translates to an incredible 20.4 mph which goes some way to explaining why the 20-year-old is being backed for such a huge future.

Not only that but Coman is also easily the owner of the best dress sense at the tournament.

It’s the end of a long old season, so it’s incredible this is the speed that Coman has managed to hit.

England do boast one of the fastest men in the Premier League, but with limited game time in the tournament so far we’ve yet to see him fully hit his stride…
