Joining Sheffield Wednesday at 31, Waddle established himself as a club legend by showcasing his dribbling skills week in – and week out. So much so that it became an integral part of the opposition’s game to have one or two men mark him. 

6. Thierry Henry 

There are few attributes more dangerous than a dribbler who can finish. And Thierry Henry was just that for Arsenal. The Frenchman was tall, strong and fast – all the right tools for a fearsome attacker. And as Arsenal’s top goalscorer of all time, it is safe to say that he is among the best the league has ever seen.

5. David Ginola 

Ginola, much like Adama Traore before his departure to Barcelona, was a strongly built player. And as a result, he was fearless with the ball at his feet. The Frenchman featured for Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur and was unplayable on his day. 

4. Steve McManaman 

The Liverpool man attracted strong interest from Real Madrid in 1999. His career had a slew of stunning solo goals, which cement his place among the best dribblers in the Premier League. 

3. Cristiano Ronaldo 

There’s no shortage of compilations that show Cristiano Ronaldo’s unreal skills in his first spell at Manchester United. Despite being 37 years old in 2022, the Portuguese sensation still has all the quality needed to dominate the league and dribble past opponents. Alongside Mahrez, he is the only other active player (in England) in this list of the best dribblers in the Premier League.

2. Ryan Giggs 

Another Manchester United player in the top 3, the Welshman spent his entire career with the club. He was a fearless 17-year-old, a regular in the first team and tearing through defenses from wide positions. As a result, he is always a mainstay among the best Premier League players of all time. 

1. Eden Hazard
