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 now reside on the right flank. Here, we examine the top right-wingers globally in 2025 in more detail.
12. 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. His adjustment to Manchester City has been consistent; in his first season at the Etihad, he scored two goals, provided ten assists, and made 85 successful dribbles.
11. 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 31 goals and 17 assists in all competitions.
10. Chelsea’s Noni Madueke
One of the top wingers in the Premier League and Chelsea’s best. Even though he might be a little inconsistent, when he is playing well, he is an incredible talent and a fantastic dribbler.
This season, he has helped the team score 15 goals, made 43 crucial passes, and dribbled 50 times in all competitions.
9. Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo
The Cameroonian player is Brentford’s lifeblood. He started right away after joining in 2019–20 and was instrumental in their promotion the following season. He has only become more at ease in the Premier League spotlight since then.
However, this 2024–2025 campaign has changed the game. The 25-year-old winger has transformed from a reliable contributor to a remarkable talent that is hard to ignore in England and abroad. This season, he has helped to score 21 goals.
8. 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 performance against Manchester City that earned him the title of Man of the Match.
Despite being out for the remainder of the season, he has emerged as one of the best right wingers in the world this year.
7. 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 eight goals and provided four assists this season, including eight goals and four assists in 2025 alone.
6. PSG’s Bradley Barcola
Barcola’s season was outstanding. He is, to be honest, one of the world’s best wingers and a top-tier player. During the 2024–25 season, the right-footed winger, who can play on both the left and right sides, contributed 16 assists and 19 goals for PSG.
In addition, he is one of the wingers who has contributed the most goals this season. A campaign he will never forget.
5. 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 17 goals and 18 assists.
4. 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 25 goals in 35 games before to an injury setback this season, demonstrating his highest level of consistency.
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 44 goals in 47 games this season, demonstrating his enormous worth to the Parisian team.
2. Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah
Salah, a legend of Liverpool and a generational talent, continues to set the standard for right-wingers everywhere. He is deserving of the first spot on the list. 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 32 goals and 23 assists in 43 games this season, he has just surpassed his previous season total of 33 goals and 13 assists. Salah is the best right-winger in football right now, and he is still dominating at the age of thirty-two.
1. FC Barcelona player 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 is only 17 years old and has already won three trophies—the Spanish Super Cup, La Liga, and EURO—as well as other outstanding individual honours, such as the EURO Young Player of the Tournament and Golden Boy.
With 17 goals and 21 assists this season, he has contributed 38 goals, making him Europe’s most productive under-21 player.
