Top 5 dribblers in world football currently

#4 Kylian Mbappe (France, Paris Saint-Germain)

Kylian Mbappe

The sensational Frenchman turns 21 next month and he is the rising star of world football at the moment. Kylian Mbappe’s career has unfolded pretty well since making the move to Paris Saint-Germain, initially on loan, at the start of the 2017/18 season. He scored 21 goals in his first season, before hitting 39 last time. This year, the Frenchman has already scored 9 times in 11 appearances.

Mbappe’s biggest asset might be his speed, but he is also one of the finest dribblers in the world right now. The former Monaco player has been compared to another legendary Frenchman, Thierry Henry, due to his eye for the goal and his style of play. Mbappe is equally comfortable on both wings and likes to cut inside from the left to shoot from his right foot. The Frenchman can leave even the best of defenders behind with his pace on the pitch, and he combines that excellently with his skills on the ball. Mbappe often relies on a change of pace, body feints, step overs, and clever turns to get the better of the opposition. The sight of him running at the opposition on the counter can instill fear into the hearts of even the most capable defenders.

The Frenchman registered above 3 successful dribbles per game in his first season with PSG, while in the last term, he had more than 2 dribbles per game. This season, Mbappe is averaging 2.4 successful dribbles per game.
