Some say that dribbling is dying out in football, with the emphasis now on teams passing the ball and keeping possession.

However, there has been a renaissance of young players (mostly wingers) in recent years who have shown that there is still a place for dribbling in the modern game.

In this post, we will look at the best dribblers in the Premier League using CIES Football Observatory‘s ‘Take On Index’ rating. The index counts a successive dribble or “take on” when a player maintains possession of the ball after going past an opponent in the final third or is fouled.

Press the next page as we count down the top five players in England with the highest rating so far this season.
