Pascal Gross has covered more distance than all but one player in the Premier League this season…

Kamada just beats his midfield mate Adam Wharton (54.07km) into the top 10.
9) Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton) – 54.35km

5) Alex Scott (Bournemouth) – 55.96km
Some engine on this lad… not only is Scott in the top five for total distance covered, but he’s also top three for high-speed runs (20-25km/h).
4) Anton Stach (Leeds United) – 56.19km
The Leeds midfielder is slightly up on last season’s average of 10.41km per 90.
3) Vitaly Janelt (Brentford) – 56.39km
Janelt has been a busy Bee in Brentford’s midfield, his performances earning him a place in the team of the season so far, alongside…
2) Pascal Gross (Brighton) – 56.96km
Gross has covered the most distance at low speed (15-20km/h) in the Premier League, which is still very decent for a 35-year-old. And it must be taking him into some great areas given Gross is among the players of the season so far.
1) Harrison Armstrong (Everton) – 57.54km
The only teenager in the top 10 is running his nuts off for the Everton fans who threatened to riot if he was sold to Forest in the summer.
