What's more, only one defender has recorded a faster speed than Gomez this season. Huddersfield Town's Terence Kongolo posted a top speed of 21.66 mph.

Impressive from the pair of defenders. In particular Gomez who is excelling under Jurgen Klopp and forging a brilliant partnership with van Dijk.

The 21-year-old was rewarded for his early form with a call-up to the England team, making his senior debut against Germany.

Is Gomez a future England star?
