Every Premier League Big 6 club’s most turnover prone player in the 2025/26 season

There is nothing more frustrating and nothing that destroys confidence in a team’s attack than a player who can’t keep ahold of the ball, especially if they are not creating enough danger with it. Here is every Premier League Big Six club’s most turnover prone player in the 2025/26 season, using WhoScored’s data on times dispossessed and poor touches to guide each decision.

Arsenal: Viktor Gyokeres

The clear winner is striker Viktor Gyokeres. Although his presence has been massive to Arsenal tactically as a true No. 9 who can be the focal point of the attack, his actual quality on the ball has been appalling.

Gyokeres has one of the worst first touches in the Premier League and loses the ball frequently, which is wild for a player who only even averages 0.2 dribbles completed per game.

Chelsea: Joao Pedro

Joao Pedro has improved a lot lately under Liam Rosenior, but early in the season, he was struggling with simply trying to do too much on the ball, which is an issue that got worse whenever Cole Palmer was not there.

In total, Pedro is averaging 4.5 unforced turnovers per game, though he does not even average a dribble completed per game. Pedro is a good creator who knows how to hold the ball up, for a guy who isn’t really a one on one threat, Pedro does lose the ball pretty frequently.

Liverpool: Mohamed Salah

This one is obviously Mohamed Salah. The Liverpool legend is by far the most turnover prone player on the team, and he might be the worst winger in the entire Premier League at taking on defenders now, which is crazy when you consider his legacy.

Salah loses the ball 4.4 times per game on unforced errors while obtaining a terrible 1.4 combined dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game. Although Salah is still a great creator, he is completely washed up as a dribbler.

Manchester City: Antoine Semenyo

Overall, Antoine Semenyo has made a positive impact since joining from Bournemouth in the winter transfer window with five goals and decent creative production, but in a more forward role, he has struggled to have the same success on the ball with more opportunities coming against low blocks and stable defenses than rather chaotic transitions.

Semenyo is averaging just 1.1 dribbles completed and fouls drawn per game with 5.3 lost possessions per game on errors. Since he is scoring, this isn’t a big issue, but you had better believe Pep Guardiola is getting in his ear about how inefficient he has been on the ball, especially when Man City have more skilled dribblers.

Manchester United: Bryan Mbeumo

Both new signings Bryan Mbeumo and Matheus Cunha are candidates here, and while the former Wolves star has actually lost the ball a little bit more, Mbeumo has to be the winner since he has been way less effective at drawing fouls and actually winning one on ones.

Overall, Mbeumo has been a good signing and has helped Manchester United get key results, especially on his own before Michael Carrick arrived to stabilize the squad. But with four unforced errors per game and only 0.6 dribbles completed per match, Mbeumo has to be a lot sharper all around, and his sloppiness is starting to frustrate Manchester United fans. He has to offer more than just the goals now.

Tottenham Hotspur: Randal Kolo Muani

Tottenham are staring down the full barrel of Premier League relegation, and they have a number of candidates for the most turnover player. Dominic Solanke has been quietly disappointing as a dribbler, Djed Spence overrates his own ability more than any other Premier League player, and Conor Gallagher has been an immediate disaster since signing in winter.

But no player is more frustrating to watch on the ball in the Premier League than Randal Kolo Muani. While he can beat more defenders than Gallagher and Solanke, he loses the ball more than those guys and has one goal with no assists. He looks mentally checked out and is more likely to lose the ball than to do anything positive with it.
