Neymar, Alexis Or Hazard Are Not The Best Dribbler In The Top Five Leagues

CIES Football Observatory have crunched the all important numbers to determine the best dribble across the top five leagues in Europe.

But their results have sprung up quite the surprise in naming the best dribbler.

The dribbling score is formulated by dividing the number of dribbles attempted, by the percentage of successful ones.

So, automatically you think of the usual suspects; Neymar, Eden Hazard, Alexis Sanchez, to name but a few. Though think again, people.

According to CIES, the best dribbler is none other than Boro's Spanish winger Adama Traore.

Check out their list from No.1 to 50, below:

FYI: * Dribbles attempted ** Successful dribbles

(1-10)

(11-20)

(21-30)

(31-40)

(41-50)

Traore number one?! Didn't see that coming.

What do you make of their findings?
