The Premier League is packed with skillful dribblers. But which player has completed the most take-ons in the division so far this season?
Sure, there are plenty of exciting wingers in England’s top flight. But these five players have stood out from the rest in 2019/20.
It's no real surprise that Adama Traore has dribbled past more opponents than any other player in England’s top flight this season.
The Wolves winger has set the Premier League alight in 2019/20 with his speed and trickery, while humiliating defenders on an almost weekly basis. When it comes to one-on-one duels, Traore is pretty much unplayable.
The former Barcelona man has established himself as one of the Premier League’s standout performers, and at 24, his best years are arguably still ahead of him.
Wilfried Zaha has been terrorising opposition defences for years, so it’s no wonder that he ranks as the player with second-most take-ons in the Premier League this term.
It’s not uncommon for Crystal Palace’s talisman to singlehandedly drag his team out of trouble, and he’s certainly saved his side on numerous occasions this season.
Of course, Zaha’s high-profile move to Manchester United didn’t work out. But the Ivorian has now made over 350 appearances for the Eagles and is one of the most feared wingers in the game.
Considering that Norwich have sat at the foot of the table for the majority of the campaign, Emiliano Buendia’s dribbling stats are outstanding.
The 23-year-old Argentine has been a bright spot in an otherwise gloomy campaign for the Canaries, and his stock has undoubtedly risen over the course of the year.
After making a name for himself in a struggling Norwich side, it’s surely only a matter of time before Buendia is snapped up by a top club.
Despite missing a large portion of 2019/20 through injury, Allan Saint-Maximin has still done enough to make it onto this list.
The skillful winger has caught the eye in his debut season at St. James’ Park, and he’s definitely got a promising future ahead of him.
After notching up over a century of Ligue 1 appearances, Saint-Maximin is now ready to take the Premier League by storm.
Mateo Kovacic has enjoyed a hugely successful season on a personal level. The midfield maestro failed to make an impact last term. But after making his move from Real Madrid permanent, Kovacic has taken his game to another level.
The Croatian wizard has become a vital part of Frank Lampard’s midfield, featuring in all but four of Chelsea’s Premier League games this term.
Kovacic is capable of travelling with the ball at frightening speed, while effortlessly gliding past opponents with ease.
