Villarreal rising star Samuel Chukwueze has been crowned the top U21 dribbler in La Liga for the 2018-2019 season.

According to football statistics gurus Whoscored, the Nigeria international completed more dribbles (52) than any other player aged 21 and under in LaLiga this season.

Chukwueze had an excellent campaign for Villarreal, helping the Yellow Submarine avoid relegation and the highlight of his performance was netting and providing an assist in the 4-4 thriller with Barcelona back in April.

The 20-year-old contributed 7 goals (5 goals, 2 assists) from 26 appearances over the course of the season.

Sticking to the headline, Chukwueze averaged two dribbles per game, 0.6 less than his average dribbles in the Europa League.

Last week, he was named among the top twelve best young talents in LaLiga Santander for the 2018-2019 season.
