\n
\n

Stars from Barcelona<\/a> and Real Madrid<\/a> are currently among those making up the elite of dribblers in Europe\u2019s top five leagues so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Here are the 10 players who have completed the most dribbles across Europe\u2019s five major leagues so far (Premier League, La Liga, Ligue 1, Serie A and Bundesliga) this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n
\n

Note: if two players are tied on the number of dribbles completed, we\u2019ve listed them in order of superior success rate.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

10. Abdul Fatawu \u2013 7<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Fatawu was rescued from third-tier Leicester this summer, with Ipswich snapping up the winger as they looked to strengthen for their Premier League survival quest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He\u2019s looked strong in patches so far, barging past Luke Shaw to set up the opener against Manchester United and giving Liverpool a few troubled moments.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

9. Gessime Yassine \u2013 8<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Fresh from becoming the youngest Moroccan player ever to score at a World Cup, Yassine has been playing for Liam Rosenior\u2019s Strasbourg.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The BlueCo-owned club have won one and lost one in Ligue 1 so far but Yassine has made an impressive start with two goals in his first two matches.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Dribbling-wise, he is already up to eight, having played one game fewer than most on this list and has the same success rate as Bellingham.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

8. Miguel Sierra \u2013 9<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Sierra is a Sevilla youth academy product who graduated to the first team in 2025. Now, he looks to be an established member of the squad and occupies the left-wing spot for the Spanish team.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He scored in the club\u2019s latest match, a 3-1 defeat against Atletico, but has proved particularly effective at moving the ball up the pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He\u2019s completed nine of his 11 dribbles, giving him the best success rate of any player in the top 10.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

7. David Larrubia \u2013 9<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Having come through the Malaga youth academy, Larrubia has established himself in the first team of his boyhood club.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Playing on the right wing, he\u2019s made 138 appearances for the club at the age of 24 and is now the starting choice for Juan Francisco Funes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

This season, he\u2019s attempted 19 dribbles but only completed nine of them, giving him a success rate of under 50%.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

6. Vinicius Junior \u2013 10<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

While his new chin makes it hard at times to believe that it is Vinicius Junior, he does at least look like his old self on the pitch.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He\u2019s got one goal and two assists for Jose Mourinho\u2019s Madrid and is one of three Bernabeu entries on this list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Though he is one of the few in this top 10 with a success rate under 50% as he has completed just 10 of his 27 dribbles so far.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

5. Nicolas Pepe \u2013 10<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Remember him? The former \u00a372m Arsenal man is still only 31 and has been at Villarreal for the last couple of seasons.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He\u2019s bagged a goal in the opening three matches of La Liga and, dribbling-wise, is fourth on this list with 10 completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Pepe does though have one of the worst success rates in the top 10, with just 44% of his 23 attempted dribbles coming off. Only Vinicius has worse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

4. Jude Bellingham<\/a> \u2013 10<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n

Following Vinicius is his Madrid team-mate Bellingham, who has completed 10 of his 21 attempts so far this campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The player has already spoken of how Mourinho has given him the freedom to play where he wants and so this season is looking a lot more like his first year in Spain when he scored 19 league goals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His willingness to get forward has also been shown in his dribbling numbers, with Bellingham the only midfielder to make the list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

3. Giorgi Kvernadze \u2013 10<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Kvernadze is not a name too many of you will be familiar with but he is currently proving Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is not the only Georgian winger to be excited about.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Kvernadze plays for Serie A club Frosinone and leads the division for dribbles completed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

His tally of 10 is four better than a trio of other players, the likes of which play for Juventus and Inter.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The fact he is doing this for a team currently in ninth makes it all the more impressive.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Barcelona<\/a>\u2019s teenage wonderkid Yamal is second in the list, having completed 12 dribbles in his three games so far this season.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Interestingly, Yamal has been unsuccessful in as many dribbles as he has successful ones, but is top for most attempted at 24.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Yamal was top of last year\u2019s rankings and is close to being so again this year, trailing just one man\u2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

1. Kylian Mbappe \u2013 18<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
\n

Considering he is one of the quickest but also most technically gifted players in the world, it should come as little surprise that Mbappe is top of this list.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He has started the season in excellent form, scoring a hat-trick against Real Sociedad and following that up with another goal against Malaga, meaning he is second only to Raphinha in the goalscoring charts.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

As for the dribbles, Mbappe beats Yamal. But his success rate has been dented by Madrid\u2019s shock 1-0 loss at Real Betis, a game in which the French star missed a penalty.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

He was only sixth in last season\u2019s ranking, which would suggest a change in how Mourinho wants him to play compared to how he did under Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
