This article is an overview of the Top 10 dribblers in Europe’s top five leagues including the Premier League, La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 and the list doesn’t highlight only volume but also impact.
Moreso, the list mixes famous names and surprise talents, and it shows that beating a defender still changes games.
Note: We have ranked players according to their higher success percentage if they are tied for the most dribbles completed.
10. Joel Roca – Girona (8 successful dribbles)
At the bottom of this list sits Girona’s Joel Roca with eight successful dribbles.
The Spanish footballer who’s currently on loan at Mirandes is just 20 and already edging past players such as Matias Soulé and Luis Díaz.
Yet, his success rate sits at 29%, the lowest among the ten, and he has the most failed attempts across the big five leagues.
Still, the raw numbers hint at potential – he keeps trying and that counts.
9. Estevão Willian – Chelsea (8 successful dribbles)
Chelsea’s teenage sensation also has eight completed dribbles.
The former Palmeiras star averages a successful take-on roughly every 22 minutes in his early Premier League minutes.
Importantly, the Brazilian footballer’s adapting to a tougher league and a new continent, and his confidence with the ball shows promise.
8. Felix Lemarechal – Strasbourg (8 successful dribbles)
Felix Lemarechal ranks eighth, again with eight successful dribbles.
After a quiet Monaco spell, he broke out at Strasbourg and continues to develop.
At 22, the French footballer looks the sort of creative player English clubs will monitor closely.
7. Arthur Atta – Udinese (8 successful dribbles)
A recent match-winner away at the San Siro proved the French footballer’s impact, but what stands out is his efficiency: eight successful dribbles from 11 attempts in Serie A so far.
6. Mohammed Kudus – Tottenham Hotspur (9 successful dribbles)
The former West Ham star Kudus appears in sixth with nine successful dribbles.
He and Jeremy Doku have been the Premier League’s standout ball-carriers since arriving.
The former Ajax’s numbers show volume rather than pinpoint efficiency – the 25-year-old’s success rate is about 39% and he leads the league in unsuccessful dribbles.
Yet the Ghanaian’s courage to take players on keeps him high in the rankings.
5. Kylian Mbappé – Real Madrid (10 successful dribbles)
Mbappé, who is just 26-year-old, sits fifth with 10 completed dribbles. The Real Madrid forward has started the season strongly with four goals in three La Liga matches under Xabi Alonso.
Meanwhile, the former Monaco and Paris Saint-Germain’s ability to terrify defences with speed and skill keeps him firmly among the continent’s elite dribblers.
4. Yankuba Minteh – Brighton & Hove Albion (11 successful dribbles)
The Gambian professional footballer Minteh is fourth with 11 successful dribbles. After leaving Newcastle without a senior appearance, the former OB star has flourished at the Amex.

The 21-year-old looks every bit the player Brighton hoped for and, indeed, a sale Newcastle might regret.
3. Yann Gboho – Toulouse (13 successful dribbles)
Third place goes to Yann Gboho with 13 successful dribbles. The former France youth international is not yet a household name, but he has impressed since returning to Ligue 1.
The Toulouse winger stood out even in a high-scoring 6–3 defeat to PSG and could soon get wider recognition.
2. Nico Williams – Athletic Bilbao (15 successful dribbles)
The Spanish footballer is runner-up with 15 completed dribbles.
The 23-year-old chose to stay at Athletic Bilbao and that decision is paying off.
The former Basconia star combines rapid ball-carrying and directness; he set the tone in Bilbao’s opening win and could enjoy a breakout campaign.
1. Lamine Yamal – Barcelona (18 successful dribbles)
At the top is Lamine Yamal with 18 successful dribbles.
The 18-year-old led this list last season and he’s picked up where he left off.
No player in the big five has attempted more dribbles (36) and his 50% success rate shows both volume and quality.
In short, Spain’s young forward is already the continent’s most dangerous ball-carrier.
This Top 10 dribblers in Europe snapshot shows three clear trends: young players are making major impacts, volume often matters more than perfect efficiency, and the ability to beat a defender still points to match-winners.
Keep an eye on these names – several will shape club seasons and national teams this year.
