Chidera Ejuke has officially joined Sevilla FC on a free transfer, signing a contract until 2027 after his loan spell with Royal Antwerp from CSKA Moscow.

After joining the Nervión club, the manager García Pimienta has often trusted in Pizzi and started him in four of the five official La Liga games so far, except for the match against Las Palmas.

Nonetheless, Ejuke has proven to be valuable even with very little game time—he is the highest dribbler in La Liga. He has successfully dribbled 17 times, more than players such as Kylian Mbappé, Yamal, and Vinicius.

According to ABC, Mbappé and Yamal each perform 16 dribbling attempts, while Vinicius produces 13 of the same. Scoring High on the Efficiency-Rating Chart Ejuke stands out as one of the most efficient players at Transfermarkt.

Meanwhile, Sportsbuddy revealed earlier why Chidera Ejuke did not feature in the match against Las Palmas.

While Ejuke has taken only 265 minutes, he completes a dribble every 15 minutes, unlike Mbappé or Yamal, who played more than 430 minutes.

Even with the additional playing time, neither of them have been able to outdo the Nigerian’s dribbling prowess.

Ejuke will strive to replicate his performance in Sevilla’s next fixture against Deportivo Alaves on Friday.
