Top Speed: 36 kph

The Columbian is not very well known in the football circuit, but still is the second fastest player in the world right now. Berrio has a top speed of 36 kph, which sees him edge past quite a few big names to become the joint second fastest footballer in the world this season.

Berrio has been riddled with injuries since moving to Brazilian side Flamengo in the Serie A from Atletico National in 2017. This season too, Berrio has faced severe injuries that have limited his game time. But when fit, he still is one of the fastest players in the world.

The 28-year-old has great ball control and likes dribbling. He is a menace with the ball at his feet and combines trickery with pace to beat his markers and advance. Once ahead, his speed ensures that it is very hard to get a hold of him.
