Bordeaux Number 10 Kalu Named Top Dribbler Europe's Top Five Leagues

Published: September 20, 2019

Bordeaux's Nigeria international winger Samuel Kalu has been named the top dribbler in Europe's top five leagues.

Football statistics expert Whoscored.com has informed that Kalu has completed more dribbles (22) than any other player in Europe's top five leagues this season.

The Super Eagle has been involved in all the five games played by Bordeaux in the Ligue 1 so far this season, logging 441 minutes.

With only one assist to his name, against Dijon on matchday three, Kalu has to improve on his goalscoring stats to match his dribbling skills.

Against Angers on the opening day of the campaign, Kalu completed five dribbles, a team-high figure, but four less than the top man, Jeff Reine-Adélaïde who racked up nine take-ons.

The Bordeaux number 10 tallied his highest take-ons (8) against Montpellier, made four vs Dijon, three vs Lyon and ended up with two on matchday five vs Metz.

Kalu started for the Super Eagles in their entertaining 2-2 draw with Ukraine on September 10 and is set to be named on the roster for the glamor friendly against Brazil, barring an injury.
