The Premier League has been home to some of the best dribblers in world football.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

From Eden Hazard mesmorising defenders during his time at Chelsea to Fulham’s lastest signing Adama Traore gliding past players as they slip off his baby oiled covered arms, the English top flight always has that one player that defences are terrified of.<\/p>\n

But when it comes to take-ons completed, how do some of the modern dribblers rank to the legendary names of the past?<\/p>\n

With the help of Opta, we dived into the archives to establish a definitive list of top 10s. Read on to find out who has the recorded the most take-ons within a single season and the most within a single game.<\/p>\n

Opta define a successful take-on as when a player beats the defender while retaining possession.<\/p>\n
