The days when a right-winger’s job was to beat your man, reach the byline, and whip in a cross are long gone. The position has changed along with modern football. In addition to being typical wide men, today’s right-wingers are also goal scorers, playmakers, inside forwards, tireless pressers, and tactical weapons.
Some of football’s most fascinating players may be found on the right wing, from the skill of Spanish technicians to the flare of Brazilian dribblers. Here, we examine the top right-wingers globally in 2025 in more detail.
10. Chelsea’s Noni Madueke
Even though the Chelsea winger isn’t the most well-known, his accomplishments speak for themselves. Madueke has become a significant attacking danger, and his ability to dribble has been a crucial component of his game. This season, he has contributed eight goals and four assists for Chelsea, demonstrating his value in a changing team.
9. Manchester City’s Savinho
Savinho, a left-footed right-winger who enjoys cutting inside, has been compared to Riyad Mahrez because of his inventiveness and dribbling. The Brazilian finished with 104 dribbles, 18 more than any other player in the division, during his stellar season with Girona in La Liga. With two goals and eight assists in his first season at the Etihad, he has steadily adjusted to life at Manchester City.
8. AC Milan’s Christian Pulisic
The former Chelsea winger has returned to his peak in Italy, displaying the skill that once distinguished him as one of Europe’s most promising young attackers. Pulisic has been a vital member of AC Milan since the beginning of the previous season, tallying 28 goals and 15 assists across all competitions.
7. Bayern Munich player Michael Olise
Olise is a dynamic attacker who can play as an attacking midfielder or winger. Since joining Bayern Munich from Crystal Palace, he has been one of the team’s best players. He is a threatening presence on the right side because of his skill with the ball and ability to create in confined spaces. He has demonstrated his ability to perform at the highest level this season with 10 goals and 9 assists.
6. Manchester United’s Amad Diallo
Despite Manchester United’s difficult season, Amad Diallo has stepped up for the team after Erik ten Hag left. He has been one of the few bright lights for the Red Devils, whether it be through his clutch performances, link-up play, or dribbling. He has made 35 appearances, with nine goals and seven assists, including an impressive display against Manchester City that earned him the title of Man of the Match.
5. Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka
Saka’s 16 goals and nine assists were crucial to Arsenal’s championship run the previous season. He is one of the most versatile wingers in international football because of his close control, ability to play in confined spaces, and final-third decision-making skills. He had previously contributed to 22 goals in 24 games before to an injury setback this season, demonstrating his highest level of consistency.
4. Real Madrid’s Rodrygo
Despite being frequently eclipsed by Real Madrid’s other offensive talents, Rodrygo is still one of the game’s most complete right-wingers. He is an important member of Los Blancos because of his combination of speed, dribbling, and finishing. He has scored 13 goals and provided seven assists so far this season, including three assists and seven goals in 2025 alone.
3. PSG’s Ousmane Dembélé
Dembélé has consistently been recognised as one of the most gifted wingers in world football, despite his ongoing injury issues at Barcelona. He is a continual offensive danger now that he has brought consistency to his game at PSG. He stands out for his technical proficiency, quickness, and agility. He has contributed 24 goals in 26 games this season, demonstrating his enormous worth to the Parisian team.
2. Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal
One of the most promising young wingers in world football is Lamine Yamal. He is an essential component of Barcelona’s offensive because of his ability to take on defenders, connect with teammates, and generate opportunities. He has already helped with more than 20 goals and assists in his first full season, and he made an impression at EURO 2024 on the international scene. He has contributed 24 goals this season, making him Europe’s most productive U21 player.
1. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah
Salah, a legend of Liverpool and a generational talent, continues to set the standard for right-wingers everywhere. He is one of the most feared attackers in international football because of his deadly finishing, lightning-fast speed, and consistency in front of goal. With 26 goals and 18 assists in 34 games this season, he has just surpassed his 25 goals and 14 assists from the previous campaign. Salah is still the greatest right-winger in football today at the age of 32 because of his dominance.
