#3 ADAMA TRAORE, WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS | 36.2 kmph

A product of Barcelona's famed La Masia academy, Adama Traore has become an absolute terror for defences in the Premier League.

An incredibly strong and fast winger with exceptional dribbling skills, Traore's ability to run through opposition defences has often been used incredibly well by Wolverhampton Wanderers manager Nuno Espirito Santo. The 24-year-old's physicality and pace are such that he has often been used as a wing-back as well.

Happy to be included in the @PremierLeague Team of the Season So Far by @EASportsFIFA. Gracias a los @Wolves, seguimos trabajando. 💪🏾#TOTSSF #FUT20 pic.twitter.com/WNKtlCsNYD

Having joined from Middlesbrough in 2018 for £18 million, Traore's performances have been so good that he has been linked with a move to Manchester City, Manchester United and Liverpool over recent months.

#2 ACHRAF HAKIMI, INTER MILAN | 36.3 kmph

Achraf Hakimi enjoyed a good spell at Borussia Dortmund

When Real Madrid decided to sell Achraf Hakimi to Inter Milan for €40 million a month ago, many eyebrows were raised.

Hakimi had two phenomenal seasons on loan at Borussia Dortmund and was expected to provide competition to Dani Carvajal for the right-back spot. However, that has not been the case. The Morocco international will now play for Antonio Conte's Inter Milan next season.

Capable of playing on both full-back positions as well as on the wings, the 21-year-old combines good passing skill with incredible dribbling ability and good defensive actions. He is expected to become a much better defender under Conte's guidance.

#1 ALPHONSO DAVIES, BAYERN MUNICH | 36.5 kmph

Alphonso Davies in action for Bayern Munich

Affectionately nicknamed "Roadrunner" by Bayern Munich teammate Thomas Muller, Alphonso Davies has been a revelation since joining the club.

Bayern Munich paid Vancouver Whitecaps €10 million in 2019 for Davies, who was playing as a winger at that time. After some initial appearances on the wings for Bayern Munich, the Canada international began to start as a left-back and has been hailed as "world-class" in that position by fans and critics alike.

Alphonso Davies' 2019/20 Bundesliga season by numbers:❍ 29 games played❍ 464 passes ending in final third❍ 213 recoveries❍ 83 take-ons completed❍ 70 tackles❍ 67 touches in the opp box❍ 37 chances created❍ 34 fouls won❍ 5 assist❍ 3 goalsRookie of the Season. pic.twitter.com/grzJqlyjTN

The 19-year-old still makes defensive errors, which he covers with the help of his extraordinary recovery pace, but there is still room for improvement. Having said that, Davies looks like a star in the making for both Bayern Munich and Canada.
