5 best tacklers in world football right now

3. Aaron Wan-Bissaka (England, Manchester United)

Aaron Wan-Bissaka

The Englishman emerged as a fantastic prospect last season at Crystal Palace, prompting Manchester United to pay big money for him this summer. Aaron Wan-Bissaka has continued his brilliant form at Old Trafford and is one of the first names on Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team sheet at the moment. The Englishman is a player who loves defending; he has pace to burn, which allows him to cover for his teammates. He also loves tackling, which means that getting past him is no easy task.

Wan-Bissaka oozes maturity beyond his age on the pitch, where he is calm, composed and always relaxed. He can be aggressive when required and his positioning is almost always immaculate. Despite being just 21 years old (he turns 22 this month), the Englishman has a wise head on his shoulders, which enables him to read the game very well. While he has improvement opportunities going forward in attack, at the right-back position, Wan-Bissaka is very close to being perfect.

The Englishman registered 3.7 tackles per game on an average for Crystal Palace last season. This year, the Englishman is averaging 5.4 tackles and 1.9 interceptions per game. The fact that he has given away just 0.4 fouls per game shows his brilliance so far. Wan-Bissaka is certainly one of the best tacklers in the football world at the moment.
