Just as there are left-wingers in football, we also have on the other side of the field, the right-winger. Top best right-wingers in Europe presently.
Who are really the best right-wingers in Europe as it is presently? well, it is not an easy question to answer considering the caliber of players in Europe presently.
These days, these wingers are also goal scorers, pressers, and more. They have grown and developed beyond just mere crossing and assisting goals, they are scoring.
Possible Euro winners 2024
The emergence of the ‘inverted’ wide man has altered our perceptions of the a winger. Such player are no longer expected to hit the byline and cross at will.
That now is the job of an active full-back, but are instead tasked with cutting onto their favored foot and creating or scoring from a more central position.
The following are the list of right-wingers. They are not ranked based on names but based on what they can actually deliver on the pitch especially on the left-wing.
5.Ousmane Dembele (paris saint-Germain and France)
Currently 27, the France winger has enjoyed his best season for some time following a testing time at Barcelona when he struggled to justify his price tag.
He apparently scored 9 Ligue 1 goals and assisted three goals last season, it is his influence on PSG’s attacking play that has seen him stand out for French side.
Dembele is a sublime dribbler who puts defenders on the back foot, he can be a match winner for France next summer in a stacked front line.
Most dangerous left-wingers in Europe
He is one of the most gifted footballers in the world but injuries and inconsistency have prevented the Frenchman from reaching the heights he was once destined for.
His time at Barcelona was incredibly frustrating but xavi’s appointment offered the energetic winger a beacon of hope.
Barca’s coach, xavi recognized Dembele’s unordinary talent and made him a key part of his team last two seasons.
Despite this, Dembele opted to up his games and he took his talents to PSG during the summer and he swiftly garnered the trust of Luis Enrique.
4.Leroy Sane (Bayern Munich and Germany)
The ex Manchester city winger, Sane enjoyed yet another productive season at the Allianz Arena, scoring 10 goals and serving up 13 assists for kane and company
Bayern Munich may have endured a rare trophy-less season, but the blame won’t be on the door the German.
Though so many questions has been raised concerning his temperament in recent years, but his talent is too bright to ignore for club and country.
It is pretty tough to describe how much Leroy Sane has developed since leaving Manchester city for Bayern Munich.

His total goal contribution output has been steady since his arrival at the club in 2020, but the German international is yet to completely dominate Allianz arena like Gnabry and Lewandoski.
Still, he remains a creative threat from out wide and can deliver devastating shots from distance with his left foot, he has enjoyed linking up with Harry Kane last season.
3.Rodrygo (Real Madrid and Brazil)
While the 23-year-old winger has everything you want from a right-winger, his pace, dribbling ability and dangerous cross, he has had to adapt to central position.
With kylian Mbappe and Endrick on the way next season, Ancelotti’s puzzle won’t get any easier, but the brazil man’s talents are just too bright to ignore.
His five Champions league goals, including strikes in both legs of quarter-final win over Manchester city, show he is a man for big occasions and they will be more to come.
Rodrygo has often been outshone by compatriot and teammate vinicius junior since joining Real Madrid in 2019.
But the Brazilian is starting to produce more of his own big moments. The Madrid star is an excellent technician who can beat opponents one-on-one in a dribble.
Top Best football managers in recent years
While vinicius junior scored the all-important winner in the 2021/22 champions league final, it was Rodrygo’s goals in the quarter-final and semi-final second legs that saw the team progress to the final.
He will certainly become one of the best right-wingers in football if he continues like this, considering the team he is playing for he might end up becoming a ballon d’or winner one day.
2.Mohamed Salah (Liverpool and Egypt)
It looked as though the 2023/24 campaign went down as an off-year for Mohamed Salah. His tally of 18 premier league goals was the lowest since joining Liverpool in 2017.
He may have scaled through in the Africa cup of nations but subsequent hamstring injury tied him down as he missed the best part of the three months.
Salah was flying before Christmas last year though as he explored new, more creative roles in the Liverpool side and we will see if the challenge of working
under a new manager at anfield will revitalize the 31-year-old next season if Saudi Arabian clubs doesn’t come calling.
There is apparently no right-winger more ruthless in front of goal than Mohamed Salah.
The Egyptian’s first premier league season was unsuccessful but his second term has thrust him into superstardom.
His goal returns each season since join Liverpool are absurd, reading 32, 22, 23, and 19 in the league.
He is a two-time Golden boot winner and his knack for pulling off the spectacular will only enhance his legacy when his time in England is looked back upon.
Salah was aiming to add a second premier league title to his name before klopp leaves at the end of the season but it was unsuccessful.
Mo Salah may not boast the two-footedness of son Heung-min, nor the grace and elegance of Riyad Mahrez.
But there isn’t a right-winger in the world that’s more ruthless in front of Goal than him.
1.Bukayo saka (Arsenal and England)
The arsenal front man has gone to Euro 2024 this summer with England, coming off the best season of his career as he continues to get better as time goes by.
Saka with already more than 250 appearances for club and country, his drive for self-improvement and ability to respond to setbacks which is one of the qualities
That set him apart from all of his contemporaries. He will be eager and desperate to amends for the penalty shootout miss in the Euro 2020. Does he have the
Capacity to do that? Saka was just 19 years old when Donarumma saved his penalty to win Italy the Euros that year.
Some abuses came his way but Arsenal’s front man responded by leading the Gunner’s scoring charts in 2021/22 and their 2022/23 title challenge.
Saka was excellent for England at Euro 2020 and has been superb for arsenal ever since Unai Emery handed him his debut in 2018.
He has matured and improved rapidly and quickly evolving into one of the most world’s best right-wingers.
He is capable of dominating his flank single-handedly as Mikel Arteta often kept him down the right.
The Arsenal star is extremely strong and skilled in one-on-one situations.
