The forward for Borussia Dortmund has been knocked off his throne. He is no longer the quickest German footballer! Another cracking footballer has replaced him, even though it is only by a little...

The speeds of these two-legged cheetahs is measured by means of a speed radar, over the course of various official encounters. 

To give you a reference, Usain Bolt, the Jamaican human-cannon, world record holder of the 100 metre sprint, averaged at 37,58km as his fastest speed. 

Here's our list of the 'top 5' speediest footballers. 

Daniel Ginczek (Stuttgart): 34,95 Km/h

The German striker averaged at 35km per hour. In the seven matches that he's played this year he's scored three goals. 

Levin Öztunali (Werder Bremen): 34,96 Km/h

The German-Turkish winger is only just behind Ginczek. He has competed in eleven matches this year in the Bundesliga. 

Leroy Sané (Schalke 04): 34,97 Km/h

This young talent from Schalke is being closely watched by all of the big European teams. His insane speed helps him without a doubt. What's more, with his four goals in four matches, he's got nothing to worry about. 

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Dortmund): 34,98 Km/h

Do you mean the 'Batmobile'? He's been the king of speed in Germany up until the last speed test. He may have lost his position in first place, but he's had a spectacular year with: 18 goals in the League, 7 in the Europe League and 2 in the Cup. 

Kingsley Coman (Bayern de Múnich): 35,06 Km/h

0,08K Km/h might not appear like much, but the other four footballers are ranked with only four hundredths of a km difference between them. Coman, a.k.a. 'the Barbarian' is the best sprinter for Germany this year. What's more he scored three goals in one attendance.
