15 Best Wingers in the Premier League Right Now (2024)

There are many talented and wonderful football players in the Premier League, with a lot of these names plying their trade on the wing. The emergence of Cole Palmer, Jarrod Bowen, and Michael Olise as top wingers highlights the depth of talent in the league. The elite wingers in the league right now include Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and Arsenal duo Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli.

While the Premier League is pretty much filled with talent from top to bottom, it's out wide on the wing where the division is at its deepest. Some of the very best players in the history of the league were situated on the flank, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo , Gareth Bale, Eden Hazard and many more, all possessing blistering pace, quick feet, and technical ability in abundance. The current crop of players are some of the best we've ever seen in the position, including the likes of Mohamed Salah, Bukayo Saka and Cole Palmer - all of whom have impressed on a continual basis for Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, respectively.



Some players are out of sorts, such as Jack Grealish , and struggling to perform to a high level, but there are so many talented wide players in the English top flight at the moment. Here are the 15 best wingers in the English top tier right now, ranked from worst to best. As is always the case in football, it's all about opinions.

Jeremy Doku Manchester City 15 Jeremy Doku The arrival of Jeremy Doku in 2023 to replace the departing Riyad Mahrez was a transfer that excited Manchester City fans as the young Belgian was able to bring a new dimension to the Citizens' attack. His blistering pace and willingness to take on his full-back has solidified Doku as the first-choice left-winger ahead of Grealish at the Etihad. The 21-year-old joined an exclusive list of players to have assisted four goals in a single Premier League game , doing so against Bournemouth.

His form dipped slightly as last season wore on, but he continues, even since the current campaign got underway, to keep Grealish - who was very good in the prior campaign - out of the starting line-up. Jeremy Doku - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 29 Goals 3 Assists 10 Wins 21 14 Marcus Rashford Sure, he may have played up front for Manchester United at different points in his career, but make no mistake about it, Marcus Rashford is a natural-born winger. The Englishman is at his best when he's playing out wide, and this is the position he takes up weekly now due to Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee’s respective arrivals at Old Trafford.

There are some eye-watering figures being spent every week on the United squad The Red Devil struggled to consistently perform in the 2023/24 season and the start of 2024/25 has been equally troubling, with him yet to get off the mark. Despite several disciplinary issues , boss Erik ten Hag has maintained his faith in the Wythenshawe-born ace, who has every chance of reviving his form in a torrid Manchester United side. Marcus Rashford - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 33 Goals 7 Assists 3 Wins 16 13 Gabriel Martinelli Having initially struggled to stay fit once he broke into Arsenal's first team, Gabriel Martinelli became a fully-fledged, key member of Mikel Arteta’s squad and his electric performances saw him play a huge role in the club's impressive title challenge.

His incredible speed and direct dribbling ability are a nightmare for opposing full-backs to deal with. That said, Leandro Trossard’s emergence as one of the Premier League’s most underrated assets and Raheem Sterling’s summer arrival means the Brazilian is having to deal with cameos from the bench. Should he worm his way back into starting contention for Arteta and Co, his stock will only rise and so will his place on this list.

Gabriel Martinelli - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 35 Goals 6 Assists 4 Wins 26 12 Pedro Neto While at Wolverhampton Wanderers, Pedro Neto emerged as one of the surprise packages of the last term. Not that anyone doubted the ability of the Portugal international, but a number of injury issues could have had a significant impact on such a young player. This doesn't look to have been the case, however, as the Portuguese is still one of the quickest players in the division .

Following his move to Stamford Bridge, there is a lot that remains uncertain over how much playing time the 24-year-old will receive. Thus far in 2024/25, the Viana do Castelo-born gem, who has netted just 11 Premier League strikes, has a paltry 135 minutes under his belt. Should he be able to emulate his previous Molineux exploits, Neto could evolve into one of the league’s best wide men.

Pedro Neto - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 20 Goals 2 Assists 9 Wins 8 11 Mohammed Kudus Mohammed Kudus ’ red-hot form since moving to the Premier League from Ajax makes everyone wonder why a club from the nation’s traditional top six didn't make a serious move for the Ghanaian, who has totted up 57 goals and 22 assists in his 199-game career for all three senior clubs he’s played for: Ajax, West Ham and FC Nordsjaelland. Strong in duels, unpredictable and a menace to mark, Accra-born Kudus has been a revelation in east London since his arrival and, under the new management of Julen Lopetegui and his entourage, could be the difference between whether the capital club earn European qualification this term or not after notching eight goals and a further six assists during his maiden season in the Premier League. Mohammed Kudus - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 33 Goals 8 Assists 6 Wins 12 10 Leandro Trossard In the wake of interest from Al-Ittihad , Arsenal were quick to turn down any bids for Leandro Trossard given how important the Belgian has been to their title ambitions.

Since arriving from Brighton & Hove Albion, the Waterschei-born 29-year-old has been nothing short of impactful in the Gunners’ pursuit of domestic glory. And despite not being able to get their aspiration across the line thus far, Trossard has been able to dislodge the aforementioned Martinelli from his starting berth - and it’ll be interesting to see how he will fare upon the arrival of Sterling. That said, his haul of 12 goals and one assist in 2023/24 means he is still the leading candidate to start the majority of Arteta’s side’s Premier League games on the left.

The Belgian's signature post-goal move has become commonplace in the Premier League since his move to Arsenal. Leandro Trossard - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 34 Goals 12 Assists 1 Wins 25 9 Alejandro Garnacho It looked like Manchester United had a real conundrum on their hands with Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho being the best wingers at the club, but both preferring to play on the left side of the attack. However, Ten Hag has found a way to get both men into the Red Devils' team, with the young Argentine often switching to the right wing.

At only 19 years old, the former Atletico Madrid man is one of the best young players in the Premier League and had fans off their seats with a goal of the season candidate at Goodison Park in 2023/24. In an otherwise dismal start to the current campaign, match-going supporters have been able to rely on the Madrid-born star for moments of magic. As a result, he finds himself at a very healthy ranking on this list.

Alejandro Garnacho - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 36 Goals 7 Assists 4 Wins 16 8 Anthony Gordon Anthony Gordon joined Newcastle in January 2023 from boyhood club Everton as an exciting youngster and his game has come on leaps and bounds since his high-profile switch. That said, the first six months he spent on Tyneside had many fans questioning the signing as he failed to nail down a regular spot in Eddie Howe's first XI. However, patience has proven to be key for the Magpies, as Gordon was one of their best performers throughout 2023/24.

Being able to operate from either wing, the 23-year-old has added goals to his game and will be looking to close in on double figures in the Premier League, after doing so last season, again this time around. Anthony Gordon - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 35 Goals 11 Assists 10 Wins 17 7 Luis Diaz For all of his previous goalscoring woes, something you cannot put into disrepute is Luis Diaz ’s sheer level of talent. The Colombian may have endured his fair share of underwhelming performances since his arrival from Porto but has begun the new season – under the fresh stewardship of Arne Slot and Co – incredibly brightly, as evidenced by his two-goal haul against rivals Manchester United.

Diaz, who is set to be offered a new Anfield contract according to reports, suffered a long-term injury in 2022/23 which looked to have done some damage to the lightning-quick man on the flank, but he is seemingly back to his best, creating chaos on the left wing, while improvements in his potency in front of goal are evident, too. Luis Diaz - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 37 Goals 8 Assists 5 Wins 23 6 Jarrod Bowen While West Ham United have struggled at times in the Premier League over the past two seasons, England ace Jarrod Bowen has been the stand-out performer for the east London club and has quickly become one of the best wingers in England - and for fans of his employers, his last-ditch strike in the 2022/23 Europa Conference League will remain a vivid memory. With many goals to his name during his four years in the capital, the ex-Hull City man has been a huge hit for the Hammers.

Granted, Bowen has played a lot of games at centre-forward at the London Stadium, but he is still a winger by trade and is, with the arrival of Niclas Fullkrug, expected to return to his favoured spot: the right flank. Jarrod Bowen - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 34 Goals 16 Assists 6 Wins 13 5 Son Heung-min On his day, Son Heung-min could have an argument to be even higher on this list. With Harry Kane leaving Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023, the South Korean shoulders a lot more responsibility at Spurs, especially from a goalscoring standpoint, and the Englishman's absence saw Son move to a central position temporarily.

But he has now returned to his preferred position on the left flank. On the wrong side of 30 years old, it's unlikely Spurs fans will see the absolute best of the former Bayer Leverkusen winger again. The summer acquisition of Dominic Solanke has allowed Son to move back out wide and, being one of the most two-footed players in football history , the Tottenham ace can go either way and provide a serious goal threat.

Son Heung-min - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 35 Goals 17 Assists 10 Wins 19 4 Cole Palmer In the future, Cole Palmer could follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Phil Foden and become one of the most exciting talents in world football. But, as things stand, his lack of experience on the European stage puts a block between him and the likes of Lamine Yamal. Although he is able to perform from a more central hub, he has been used on the right by Enzo Maresca and his predecessor, Mauricio Pochettino.

The most gifted young footballers on the planet have been ranked in order. Eyebrows were raised when Pep Guardiola allowed such a talented youngster to join a rival, and those doubts have been proven right as Palmer has excelled at Stamford Bridge. After a career-best return of 22 goals and 11 assists in the top flight last time out, the Manchester-born star has continued his promise, notching the solitary goal and four assists in his side’s opening trio of Premier League fixtures.

Cole Palmer - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 34 Goals 22 Assists 11 Wins 16 3 Phil Foden Although Phil Foden is often seen drifting inside and making a difference from central areas, the Englishman’s best work - arguably - comes from out wide with him able to use his deft dribbling ability to glide past players with what seems like relative ease. At the end of last campaign, Foden picked up the 2023/24 Premier League Player of the Season award, and he’ll be looking to make it two on the bounce this time around. Recognised as one of the best players currently earning their corn in England’s top division , the decorated forward has been nothing short of influential on Manchester City’s domination in years gone by and chalked up a return of 27 goals and 12 assists in all competitions - with 19 and eight coming, respectively, in the league.

Phil Foden - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 35 Goals 19 Assists 8 Wins 25 2 Bukayo Saka In terms of the best Premier League winger for the next decade, Bukayo Saka appears to have that locked down given he has years aplenty left in the tank. The 23-year-old has been mesmerising for a couple of years now, since bursting onto the scene at Arsenal, and somehow just keeps getting better. Transfermarkt has updated the values of the most expensive footballers in the world.

His role in the club's title challenge in two seasons on the trot cannot be overstated, and his influence on Mikel Arteta's side going forward will be massive. If the Gunners are to maintain the impressive form they have shown under the Spanish tactician over the past two terms, they'll need Saka to perform at his best. His goalscoring numbers have risen every single season, and there's no reason to doubt that this will continue.

Bukayo Saka - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 35 Goals 16 Assists 9 Wins 25 1 Mohamed Salah Was anyone else ever really going to be number one? The ever-reliable Mohamed Salah has been in scintillating form since joining Liverpool in 2017 and has regularly been the best winger in the Premier League and maybe even the best in the entire world since. His goalscoring influence on the team is unmatched and no one was quite as important to Jurgen Klopp's silverware-winning side as the Egyptian King. The Reds have enjoyed some of their greatest seasons in recent memory and the 31-year-old has played a significant role in that and, under Arne Slot's reign, the ex-Chelsea man has kick-started proceedings in fine fashion.

From Eric Cantona to Dennis Bergkamp, fans have been blessed with seeing many great players from overseas compete in the Premier League. Even his disappointing seasons are better than most footballers at their peak. It's hard to imagine Liverpool would have won quite as much if this man wasn't in the fold.

There's no question he's the best winger in England right now, and he puts together a compelling case of being the best wide man to ever grace the Premier League . Mohamed Salah - 2023/24 Premier League Statistics Appearances 32 Goals 18 Assists 10 Wins 19 All statistics per Transfermarkt - Correct as of 09/09/24.
