Eberechi Eze has said that Manchester City midfielder, Bernardo Silva, is one of the best dribblers in the Premier League.
The Crystal Palace star was linked with a move to the Etihad Stadium towards the end of the previous summer transfer window, although ended up staying with the south London club.
Now though, the Englishman has shared his thoughts on one particular City player and one specific attribute he has.
Eze hails Silva’s dribbling
Speaking in a recent video from the Sky Sports Premier League YouTube channel, Eze had this to say when asked if he thinks Silva is one of the best dribbles in the top flight right now.
He said: “Yeah, 100%”
City signed Silva back in the 2017 summer transfer window from AS Monaco in a deal worth £43m.
Since then, the 29-year-old has made 317 appearances for the club across all competitions prior to today’s match against Bournemouth, scoring 56 goals, delivering 61 assists and winning a significant number of trophies along the way.
This latest Premier League campaign has seen Silva make the joint-second-highest number of progressive carries in the City squad (28), which highlights just how capable the midfielder is when it comes to dribbling with the ball up the pitch.
Focusing on Eze, he ended the previous Premier League season with the second-highest total of carries into the final third of the pitch (57) at Palace, which shows how suitable he is to be sharing his thoughts on other capable dribblers in the league such as Silva.
The Palace star isn’t the only person to highlight Silva’s effective dribbling ability as Maximo Perrone said back in July that it drives him crazy trying to get the ball off the Portuguese international in training due to his impressive technical ability.
With all of that in mind, it’s clear to see why Eze thinks the City star is one of the best dribblers in the Premier League.
