Ball carrying


Being able to dribble and carry the ball up the pitch is the bread and butter for a winger. On this metric, Ndiaye is well out in front.

The Senegalese international made 2.36 successful dribbles per 90 minutes in the Premier League last season, completing 54.5% of his total dribble attempts.

Summerville is a distant second (1.85 per 90) in terms of successful dribbles, followed by Fernandez-Pardo (1.36 per 90) and Leao (1.26 per 90).


Ndiaye is way out ahead in terms of completing his dribbles too, with Summerville (48.6% success), Leao (46.4%) and Fernandez-Pardo (43.9%) all losing possession more than 50% of the time.
