One of the most important talents in contemporary football is still dribbling. Players may break lines, throw defences off balance, and create opportunities where none seem to exist because to it. These are the top 10 dribblers in the game at the moment, based on successful take-ons in every competition this season.
10. 97 successful dribbles by Michael Olise
Olise has demonstrated why he is such a valuable asset in the Premier League, despite a season marred by injury. His ability to glide past opponents in confined places is unrivalled; he is composed under duress and exceptionally fluid with the ball.
9. 100 successful dribbles by Jamal Musiala
Musiala has always had exceptional dribbling in tight spaces; he plays like a street football player in a professional setting, unpredictable, smart, and remarkably composed in the closing third. 8. Florian Wirtz – 105 successful dribbles
Wirtz’s already incisive technical profile has been made more straightforward. Not only does he create for Bayer Leverkusen, but he also drives through opposition lines with control and purpose.
7. Rafael Leão: 105 dribbles that were successful
Leão continues to be one of Europe’s most dynamic wide players. He continues to terrorise Serie A defenders with his pace, tenacity, and confidence in taking on players at full force.
6. Jamie Bynoe-Gittens: 112 dribbles that were successful
This season, the Dortmund winger has distinguished himself with audacious, direct offensive play. When in possession, he is quick, confident, and always trying to isolate his full-back. A talent without fear.
5. Nico Williams: 119 dribbles that were successful
Nico Williams has emerged as a reliable flanking threat for Athletic Club. He can beat opponents both inside and out because to his quick feet and low centre of gravity, and this season he has matured his game.
4. 128 successful dribbles by Jérémy Doku
At Manchester City, Doku has become a one-on-one specialist. His take-on volume is huge, and he’s one of the few wingers in Europe allowed the ability to go at defenders repeatedly without constraint.
3. Vinícius Júnior – 130 successful dribbles
Vinícius is becoming a match-winner rather than merely an intriguing winger. He has mastered the timing and final product to match his flare, and his dribbling is straightforward and intentional. It’s still a nightmare to avoid.
2. Kylian Mbappé: 133 dribbles that were successful
Mbappé is frequently commended for his speed and finishing, yet his dribbling is still one of his most effective skills. His ability to change direction at high speed makes him almost tough to contain, whether he is playing centrally or from the left.
1. 240 successful dribbles from Lamine Yamal
It is unbelievable what 17-year-old Lamine Yamal is doing. He’s not only ahead this season with 240 successful dribbles; he’s on another planet. Something happens each time he gets the ball. Yamal plays like a seasoned winger with the vigour of a teenager, whether it’s creating up space, beating defenders, or drawing fouls. He’s not only the world’s finest young dribbler; he’s the best dribbler overall.
