Meet Tyler Magloire: Blackburn Rovers defender faster than Kylian Mbappe
Kylian Mbappe is widely regarded as one of the fastest players in world football. The Paris Saint-Germain forward is capable of reaching speeds of up to 10.5 metres per second, making him one of the quickest players in the game. However, it appears that he has been beaten to the title of the fastest player in football by a Blackburn Rovers defender.
On 25th April 2019, Tyler Magloire hit a top speed of 10.6 metres per second during a match against Leeds United. This makes him the fastest-ever player on record for Blackburn Rovers, beating the previous record of 10.5 metres per second set by former Rovers player David Dunn in 2003.
Magloire is a 21-year-old defender who joined Blackburn Rovers in 2018. He is a product of the Manchester City academy and has also had loan spells at Rochdale and Blackpool. Magloire is known for his speed and agility, which has helped him to become an important part of the Rovers defence.
The speed of Magloire is impressive, but it is still some way off the world record for the fastest player in football. That record is held by former Arsenal player Theo Walcott, who hit a top speed of 11.2 metres per second during a match against Manchester City in 2014.
Magloire’s speed is also impressive when compared to some of the other top players in the game. Cristiano Ronaldo, for example, has been clocked at 10.3 metres per second, while Lionel Messi has been recorded at 10.4 metres per second.
Magloire’s speed has been a key factor in his success at Blackburn Rovers. He has made 18 appearances for the club this season and has been a regular starter in the defence. His speed has helped him to make a number of important tackles and interceptions, as well as providing an attacking threat from the back.
It is clear that Tyler Magloire is a very talented player and his speed is one of his greatest assets. He may not be the fastest player in the world, but he is certainly faster than Kylian Mbappe and is now the fastest-ever player on record for Blackburn Rovers.
Magloire’s speed and agility have been a key factor in his success at Blackburn Rovers and he looks set to be an important part of the team for many years to come. He may not be the fastest player in the world, but he is certainly one of the quickest and his record-breaking speed is something that should be celebrated.
