Premier League's demands change and vary almost every season. Seldom do clubs manage to achieve success with a similar tactical approach as the previous season.
Teams in the league are sharp and quick to analyze the opposition's tactics and counter them. The same applies to players and their individual skills and trickeries.
The Premier League has had amazing dribblers in the last decade
There have been some world-class dribblers in the history of the league. Even in the past few years, we have seen many fascinating footballers with amazing dribbling skills.

The key to their success has been consistency. Here, we take a look at the top five players with the most successful dribbles in the Premier League since 2015-16.
#5 Riyad Mahrez
The Algerian remains one of the few players to have won the Premier League with two different clubs in the last few seasons. He has won it at both Leicester City and Manchester City.
Riyad Mahrez joined Leicester City from Le Havre in the 2013-14 season. He quickly became a crucial player for the Foxes with his amazing dribbling and creative abilities. He played a key role in helping Leicester win the title in the 2015-16 season.
The left-footed winger joined Manchester City in the summer of 2018. He has won the league twice with them so far and has been quite effective on the right flank. The 31-year old has made 420 successful dribbles in 217 appearances since the 2015-16 season, confusing the opposition time and again with his trickery.
#4 Sadio Mane
The Senegalese forward made a name for himself while playing for Southampton. In his two seasons with the Saints, Sadio Mane scored 21 goals and registered nine assists in 67 league appearances.
His impressive performances helped him earn a move to Liverpool in the 2016-17 season. Mane has since gone on to become one of the most effective forwards in the league. With his terrific dribbling, quick footwork and fine goal-scoring abilities, he has been difficult to contain for oppositions.
Since the 2015-16 season, Sadio Mane has made 438 dribbles in 221 league appearances. There is no doubt that with time, the dribble count is only going to increase even more given his impressive form at Liverpool.
#3 Eden Hazard
The Premier League lost an amazing player to Real Madrid when Eden Hazard left after the 2018-19 season. To date, the Belgian remains one of the finest wingers to play in England's top division.
Eden Hazard's primary game was all about tricking the opposition with his movement, agility and mind-boggling dribbling skills. In his prime, there was very little the opposition defenders could do to stop him. He has been one of Chelsea's best players in the last decade, helping them win the league twice.
Between 2015-16 and 2018-19 seasons, Eden Hazard made 535 dribbles in just 138 appearances. It is amazing how the Belgian still manages to be on this list despite having left the league three seasons ago.
#2 Adama Traore
The 26-year old forward is currently on loan at Barcelona and is doing an impressive job with them. Adama Traore graduated from Barcelona's youth academy but struggled to make it to their first team.
He went on to play for multiple English clubs. He has been associated with Wolverhampton Wanderers since the 2018-19 season. He played for Aston Villa and Middlesbrough before joining Wolves in the Premier League.
At Wolves, despite being very effective with his dribbling and trickery, Adama Traore struggled to be productive in front of goal. Nevertheless, the Spaniard has made 645 dribbles in 160 appearances since the 2015-16 season, which is an impressive achievement.
#1 Wilfried Zaha
The Ivorian struggled to make it big at Manchester United. He then decided to rejoin Crystal Palace in the 2014-15 season and has been with them ever since.
Over time, Wilfried Zaha has gone on to become a vital player for the Eagles and turned into a very productive winger. With his fascinating dribbling skills and creativity, the 29-year old has so far scored 55 goals and registered 26 assists for Palace.
Zaha drew the most number of fouls (120) in the 2016-17 season using his trickery and dribbling abilities. He remains an underrated player in the league and it has more to do with Palace's limited success in the competition.
Since the 2015-16 season, the Ivorian winger has dribbled 760 times in 220 appearances, becoming the best dribbler in the league over the past six years.
