#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

Crystal Palace v Brighton & Hove Albion - Premier League

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.
