The timeless tackler

All stats are from the Premier Leauge only [BBC] When Idrissa Gueye joined Everton in 2016, he made the most tackles of any player in the Premier League in his first season. Nine years later, he has repeated the feat - and made even more tackles in the process. In fact, in five of his six seasons at Goodison Park he has ranked inside the top three players for tackles won in the top flight. The only outlier was the 2023-24 season in which injuries greatly reduced his game time. Advertisement When FBref started recording tackling data in 2017-18, Gueye's success rate at tackling dribblers was 41%. It has slowly risen over time and now sits at 59%. The midfield veteran has aged like a fine wine in the ball-winning department.
