Tottenham winger Sávio has completed more take-ons than any other player in the Premier League this season with 18 successful dribbles.
Tottenham Hotspur winger Sávio has established himself as the most prolific dribbler in the Premier League this season, completing more take-ons than any other player across the division, according to data published by Squawka on X. The Brazilian international has provided Roberto De Zerbi’s side with directness and unpredictable flair on the flank, proving to be a consistent outlet in wide areas during the opening stages of the domestic campaign.
Statistical tracking by Squawka reveals that Sávio leads the league with 18 completed take-ons, establishing a significant gap over the division’s other elite wide players and attacking talents. His ability to commit defenders and break through opposition lines has made him Tottenham’s primary creative catalyst in tight matches.
Sávio’s impressive tally puts him comfortably clear at the top of the leaderboards ahead of several high-profile attackers:
Sávio (Tottenham): 18 completed take-ons
Omar Marmoush: 13 completed take-ons
Mohammed Kudus: 12 completed take-ons
Abdul Fatawu: 12 completed take-ons
Noah Okafor: 12 completed take-ons
Morgan Rogers: 12 completed take-ons
With a five-dribble margin over his nearest rival, the Brazilian’s explosive rate of beat-your-man success underlines his immense tactical value on the wing.
Crucial Outlet in De Zerbi’s Attacking System
Under Roberto De Zerbi’s tactical philosophy, wide players are given the freedom to isolate defenders in one-on-one scenarios to create numerical advantages and high-value chances. Sávio’s elite dribbling numbers demonstrate how effectively he has embraced this responsibility, consistently stretching opponent defences and forcing backlines into recovery positions.
Sávio has completed more take-ons than any other player in the Premier League this season.
