Alex Iwobi’s impressive form in a new role at Everton has seen him go up the ladder in the list of best dribble success rate in the English Premier League.
Iwobi now plays as a right wing back with coach Carlo Ancelotti deploying him to that role in order to get the best out of his ability to run the flanks from deep and also link up play.
That has caused a turn around in the form of the Nigerian who has so far succeeded with 73.1% of his attempts to dribble past his opponents making him 6th in the list.
Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino tops the list with 77.8% with Kyle Walker-Peters of Southampton third with a success rate of 75.9%. Solly March of Brighton and Hove Albion complete the top three with 75%.
Andros Townsend of Crystal Palace is fourth while Iwobi’s teammate Alan comes in fifth position with both players having 74.1% success rate after 16 games in the English Premier League.
