Earlier this week a clip went viral from none other than the Indonesian league, and by the looks of it, we may have found the world's fastest player...

Aubameyang, Bale, Rashford, Coman, Bellerin... They are all players renown for their explosive pace. In fact, they're capable of reaching speeds of almost 25 mph.

But there also plenty of unknown players who have nothing to envy from these stars in the speed department. Terens Puhiri, of Borneo FC, is one of them.

21-year-old Puhiri scored the third goal of his side's 4-0 victory over Mitra Kukar in the Indonesian league, and he showed a quite unbelievable burst of pace to knock the ball past the defender, before rounding the goalkeeper.

Although the his top speed has not been measured, we're pretty sure it would put him up there with some of the most rapid players in the game.

Check out the outrageous sprint and goal for yourself below:
