One key stat shows Tottenham have four players who are almost as dangerous on the ball as Manchester City’s Jeremy Doku.

Tottenham Hotspur look to have finally found some rhythm in attack this season, despite a difficult first few games in which they struggled to find the back of the net.

Spurs’ first goal of the campaign did not come until matchweek five, when Conor Gallagher struck against Aston Villa, assisted by Mohammed Kudus after some neat dribbling down the right side of Tottenham’s attack.

Since then, though, goals have been coming in plenty and have been spread across the team, with Tottenham ranked 11th for goals scored per match.

However, based on the performances of the Spurs players at the top end of the pitch, there is every reason to believe that Roberto De Zerbi’s men will continue to be a handful for defences.

Mohammed Kudus leads Tottenham’s dribblers in Premier League top 20

According to stats from SofaScore, Tottenham are the only side with four players ranked in the top 20 for successful dribbles completed this season.

Kudus is the highest-ranked Spurs player for completed dribbles, with the wide forward joint second with Mohamed Belloumi and only behind Jeremy Doku in first.

The Ghana international has completed an outstanding 21 dribbles, level with Belloumi, while Doku ranks top with 24 successful dribbles.

Other Tottenham players to feature include Mathys Tel with 20 in fourth, Savio with 18 in seventh and Omar Marmoush with 17 in ninth.

Spurs need their dribbling to turn into goals

Of course, being great at beating players one-on-one is a valuable skill for forwards to have, as it can help against low blocks and also create space for the attackers.

We have already seen this work in Tottenham’s favour this season with the goal Tel scored against Chelsea, where the wide forward ran from his own half, beat Acheampong and Lacroix and finished off a wonderful solo effort.

Kudus’ dribbling also proved a handful against Palace’s low block last time out. That is exactly what De Zerbi will be expecting from his attackers – not just to rack up dribbles, but to use that ability to improve their output, whether in terms of goals or assists.

So far, it looks like there has been a little improvement in that regard, but it can surely be much better than it is.
