Top 5 Dribblers In The Premier League: Featuring Arsenal And Chelsea Players

The art of dribbling is a joy to watch, a player who has the ball seemingly glued to his feet, waltzing around the pitch, around defenders and laying it off to score. There are quite a few great exports of the art of dribbling, we know Lionel Messi, Gareth Bale, Cristiano Ronaldo and Neymar are all adept at taking the ball from point A to point B is almost no time at all but the Premier League also has its fair share of amazing dribblers and here we look at the top 5 dribblers in the Premier League.

We used stats from Whoscored.com to compile the list and only took those players who have played more than 20 games in the Premier League season, without further ado; here is the list of the top 5 dribblers in the Premier League.

5. Philippe Coutinho

The Brazilian has been revitalized in the Red of Liverpool this season, Coutinho was always someone who had good ball control but he has been very consistent in his performances for Liverpool this season and that has shown in the stats and performances put in by the Brazilian.

Coutinho averages 2.7 successful dribbles per game and has 2 goals and 4 assists to his name; he would obviously want to increase the contribution in the final third as Liverpool try to make it back into the top 4.

4. Raheem Sterling

The golden boy of English football, Sterling has been stellar for Liverpool, even though he has missed a few games due to injury and due to a much needed break during the winter period. Sterling averages 3.1 successful dribbles per game and has already scored 5 goals this season.

He has also provided 5 assists for the club and has been linked to a big money contract to stay at Liverpool. His importance to Liverpool cannot be described and he is yet to become 21.

3. Alexis Sanchez

The star of the Premier League, Alexis has made it look like he was always playing in the Premier League and he has brought not only his skilful dribbling to the Premier League. The Chilean might have wowed everyone with his 12 goals and 7 assists in the Premier League but he is no mug regarding the act of dribbling.

Sanchez averages 3.4 dribbles per game and has been a thorn for most defences this season.

2. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain

Probably a surprise on the list, there is no denying the fact that Oxlade-Chamberlain is a good player and he proves it by coming in the runners-up spot in this list. The attacker averages 3.6 successful dribbles per game and has been one of the most improved players at Arsenal.

Although the attacker only has one goal and one assist in the league, he should get a few more chances till the end of the season to get a few more goals to his name.

3. Eden Hazard

Was there any doubt about who would be the top dribbler in the Premier League? Hazard has been playing on another level since the start of the season and this fact just shows how good he actually is. Hazard averages 4.5 successful dribbles per game which is one dribble more than his closest rival.

The Chelsea star has already scored 9 goals and provided 5 assists in the league and he will be looking to cap off a fine season with a few more goals and maybe a couple of medals as well.
