Manchester United Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka put up a great performance against Brighton and Hove Albion’s Mitoma in the Semifinals of the FA Cup on Sunday evening at Wembley Stadium.
Mitoma has been a menace to Fullbacks this season in the Premier league, and Liverpool’s Right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold has been one of his victims this season.
The Brighton Star was also impressive against Chelsea in their last meeting as he gave Trevoh Chalobah and Wesley Fofana a tough time last weekend at Stamford Bridge.
However, Aaron Wan-Bissaka was able to stop Mitoma on Sunday in the Semifinals of the FA Cup. Aaron Wan-Bissaka’s great performance against Mitoma has earned the England International a lot of accolades and plaudits.
According to ESPN FC, Aaron Wan-Bissaka has the best true tackle success rate in European Top-flight Leagues out of the Players that have attempted more than 100 tackles since the beginning of the 2017/18 season.
The England International has attempted 571 tackles since the beginning of 2017/18 season and he was successful in 449 tackles.
With that stat, it’s easier to prove that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is the best one-on-one defender in Europe right now but, Reece James is still ahead of him. Reece James might not be recording the same success rate that Aaron Wan-Bissaka is making in tackles but, the Chelsea Right-back is a complete Right-back.
The role of Right-backs has transcend mere defending. Reece James is equally great in the defense as he is in the attack.
Also, the fact that Real Madrid has been targeting Reece James since last season is another reason that he’s an amazing Right-back.
