"According to Man City winger Jeremy Doku (via Geordie Boot Boys), Ben Arfa is one of the best dribblers in football history. During a segment with K+ Sports, the Belgium international declared the former Newcastle man as being better than him at dribbling, as well as the likes of Raheem Sterling, Sadio Mane, Adama Traore and even Cristiano Ronaldo. However, he did opt for Arsenal legend Thierry Henry when asked to choose between the two."
"Hatem Ben Arfa can also be considered in this list, with his dazzling dribbling skills having wowed the St James' Park crowd on many occasions during his four years on Tyneside. Ben Arfa, who retired from playing in 2022 after a spell in his homeland with Ligue 1 side Lille, is well-known for having been a fantastic dribbler, and this is still very much appreciated by players of a similar style"
Newcastle have produced several cult heroes known for exceptional dribbling, including Demba Ba, Papiss Cisse, Allan Saint-Maximin and Hatem Ben Arfa. Ben Arfa spent four years at St James' Park and delivered dazzling dribbling that frequently excited the crowd. Ben Arfa retired in 2022 after a spell with Lille and remains celebrated for his dribbling ability. Manchester City winger Jeremy Doku described Ben Arfa as one of football's best dribblers and said he was better at dribbling than Raheem Sterling, Sadio Mane, Adama Traore and Cristiano Ronaldo, while preferring Thierry Henry overall. Newcastle hope current players like Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga can emulate such dribbling influence.
