Nigerian dribbler in Europe's top five leagues comprising of La Liga,
English Premier League, German Bundesliga, Italian Serie A and French
Ligue 1.
The Bordeaux number 10 has racked
up 48 take-ons in 20 appearances in the French top-flight, an average
of 2.4 dribbles per game to place first among the Nigerian players.
In
the overall ranking, the former KAA Gent star is 48th but has averaged
the same number of dribbles as Moussa Djenepo (Southampton), Achraf
Hakimi (Borussia Dortmund), Christian Pulisic (Chelsea), Martin ødegaard
(Real Sociedad), Gelson Martins (Monaco), Opa Nguette (Metz) and
Filippo Falco (Lecce), who have better player ratings.

the overall standings.
The 22-year-old has played 20 games for Torino in the Italian top-flight this season, with fifteen as a starter.
Villarreal's
Samuel Chukwueze may be one of the most flashy Nigerian players but he
is only third in the ranking with average dribbles of 1.7 per game and
155th overall.
The Golden Boy nominee has
lost his place in Villarreal's starting lineup, having failed to start
any of their last six league matches before the league was postponed.
