Only 4 players completed more than 25 dribbles ahead of match day 13 of the 2024/25 English Premier League (EPL) season. Interestingly, 3 of them are Ghanaian footballers. Who are these dribblers and how are they doing it?
The man on top of the list is Abdul Fatawu Issahaku. This 20-year-old winger has completed 29 dribbles for Leicester City within the period. He began with 3 in the match day 1 encounter with Tottenham. The left-footed footballer made a personal record on match day 12 when he made twelve successful dribbles in the clash with Manchester United. Unfortunately, this skill did not prevent the Foxes from losing 3-0 to the Red Devils in the game.
Mohammed Kudus is next on the list. This West Ham attacker completed 3 take-ons when his club hosted Aston Villa in their opening game of this term. The former Ajax star made 28 successful dribbles over the first 8 match days of the current season. Unfortunately, he is yet to return to EPL action since October 19 when he was red-carded. It should be noted that the highest tally recorded in a match so far this term came during the August 25 trip to Crystal Palace. Kudus dribbled past 6 opponents in the encounter. It should be put on record that this Ghanaian is level with Iliman Ndiaye, a Senegalese winger.

The next player in this category is Antoine Semenyo. This England-born Ghanaian has been credited with 26 successful dribbles for Bournemouth this season. Interestingly, the dual-footed forward has also registered 5 goal involvements within the period. It should be noted Semenyo had his best dribbling day of the season when his side hosted Manchester City in game week 10. He was credited with 6 complete take-ons in the clash. Curiously, the total number attribute to all Citizens’ guys within the period is also six.
