Super Eagles winger, Chidera Ejuke has been rated the third-best dribbler in the world by the CIES Football Observatory latest rankings.
The International Centre for Sports Studies, known mostly by the initials CIES from the French Centre International d’Etude du Sport, is an independent, research and education organization, located in Neuchâtel, Switzerland, that collates data from around the world.
The group, which rates and values players based on statistical evidence, ranked Ejuke in third place behind Adama Traore and Nahuel Luján.
According to the group, players from 33 leagues worldwide were ranked, and only the ones that have completed 40 dribbles in the 2021/2022 season were considered.
The 23-year-old, who is the new sensation of Super Eagles fans, has an overall score of 9.3 behind Luján (9.7) and Traore (11.2).
The forward’s position didn’t come as a surprise to many as he is known for his quick feet, which enables him to move past opposition defences like a hot knife through butter.
The CSKA Moscow winger is also known for his dribbling skills, and he is the seventh-fastest player in the newly released FIFA 22.
Ejuke debuted for the Nigeria national team in a friendly 1–1 tie with Tunisia on 13 October 2020.
