Skillful Chelsea Wing-Back Victor Moses Named Nigeria Top Dribbler In Europe
Published: April 25, 2017Football statisticians CIES Football Observatory have published on their website the top 100 dribblers in the top five leagues in Europe.
Middlesbrough’s Adama Traore is first on the list and outranked Eden Hazard (Chelsea), Allan St-Maximin (Bastia). Neymar, Lionel Messi and Alexis Sanchez.
If Liverpool-born Ross Barkley is not included in the mix, the highest ranked Nigerian player is Chelsea’s Victor Moses, who is joint-76th best on the list.
That should not come as a surprise as the right wing-back is known for his flair and ability to take on opponents, especially in 1 vs 1 situations.
Moses has attempted 81 dribbles with a success rate of 59 percent, and scored 73.5 overall.
The dribbling index is calculated by dividing the number of dribbles attempted by the percentage of successful ones.
