• Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Kudus leads the Premier League in dribbles completed this season with 66
• He surpassed other notable players in the Premier League, like Manchester City's Jeremy Doku, who completed 61 dribbles
• Despite his relatively recent transfer to West Ham from Ajax, Kudus has made a significant impact, contributing to 12 goals

Ghanaian footballer Mohammed Kudus has emerged as the Premier League's top dribbler this season, having completed 66 dribbles, surpassing Manchester City's Jeremy Doku, who managed 61.

Kudus, who joined West Ham from Ajax in a €45 million deal last summer, has contributed to 12 goals despite predominantly playing as a right winger. He has scored nine goals and assisted in three.

After Kudus and Doku on the top dribbles table comes Wolverhampton Wanderers attacker Matheus Cunha (52 completed dribbles), Luton Town's Chiedozie Ogbene (50 completed dribbles) and Ross Barkley (48 completed dribbles) to make the top five.

Kudus believes West Ham has the potential to triumph in both the UEFA Europa League and secure a top-six finish in the Premier League.

Kudus expressed confidence in his team's capabilities, saying,

"We won the UEFA Europa Conference League last year, so we have the same mentality and approach for every game. It’s very possible."

West Ham keenly felt Kudus' absence during January's Africa Cup of Nations. During the continent's tournament, he was adjudged the highest-rated player.

However, since his return to West Ham, he has made significant contributions to games against Manchester United, Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, and Brentford, providing an assist in the latter match.

Under David Moyes's management, West Ham faces German side Freiburg in the Europa League's round of 16, aiming to add another trophy to their collection after clinching the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
