Lyon's Houssem Aouar has been the best dribbler in the early stages of the 2021-22 Ligue 1 Uber Eats season, confirming his status as one of the most exciting players in France's top flight when it comes to leaving an opponent in his dust...
Lyon's Houssem Aouar and Strasbourg's Ludovic Ajorque are two of the most effective dribblers of the season so far. The Lyon midfielder leads the way in this area and is even showing an improvement on last season, when he was a long way behind leaders Doku and Kylian Mbappé.
The OL youth academy prodigy has regularly featured in the upper echelons of this ranking: in season 2019-20, he was the league's third-best dribbler, and since breaking into Lyon's first team, the France midfielder has the most successful dribbles in Ligue 1 Uber Eats (268), behind the Neymar-Mbappé duo. All this with an impressive efficiency percentage (58%).
Ahead of Mbappé
While Kylian Mbappé (PSG) is the player who has attempted the most dribbles after four rounds of the current campaign (30), the French star is a step behind of Houssem Aouar (OL) in terms of success rate. The Lyon man has 26 dribbles at an impressive success rate of 64% (compared to 50% last season). This also puts Olympique Lyonnais in third place in the club rankings (50 successful dribbles).
