Super Eagles star boldly claims he is faster than Haaland, Saka, Yamal and Vinicius
Ejuke, who joined Sevilla on a free transfer last year, has been working to establish himself in a team that has faced significant challenges and changes.
In 38 appearances for the Spanish club since joining, he has registered two goals and two assists.
While his goal contributions have been modest, Ejuke is primarily recognised for his exceptional dribbling skills, quickly earning a reputation as one of the most effective dribblers in La Liga.
Ejuke speaks on his speed
In a recent interview, when asked to compare his speed to that of other elite players, the Nigerian international expressed supreme confidence.
He stated that none of the aforementioned stars, Haaland, Saka, Yamal, or Vinicius Jr., could outpace him.
However, Ejuke did concede that one player is quicker: Real Madrid's superstar forward, Kylian Mbappé.
Although official speed rankings in La Liga are not available, Ejuke's reputation for blistering pace is well-founded.
His ratings in the EA FC video game series reflect this, with a pace score of 90, acceleration at 91, and a sprint speed of 89.
Despite his speed and dribbling prowess, the 27-year-old winger will need to improve his end product.
To truly make a significant impact in his career, he must become more decisive in the final third by increasing his goal and assist tally.
