Summary
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 Bryan Mbeumo 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’s Bukayo Saka.
Some players are out of sorts, such as Jack Grealish and Gabriel Martinelli, and struggling to perform at 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. As such, GIVEMESPORT have used the following factors to rank the wingers in order:
Longevity
Current form
Goal contributions
Importance to team
Consistency
Availability
15 Alejandro Garnacho
Club: Manchester United
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, former manager Erik ten Hag found a way to get both men into the Red Devils’ team, with the young Argentine often switching to the right wing.

14 Amad
Club: Manchester United
Often unfancied by Ten Hag, he always puts in resounding performances under the new management (irrespective of where he is deployed) and has notched six assists in the Premier League this term. From his match-winner against Liverpool last season to his last-gasp dink over Ederson in their recent encounter with Manchester City, the Ivorian has won the hearts of the Old Trafford faithful ever so quickly.

Club: Manchester City
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 Cityzens’ 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.

12 Leandro Trossard
Club: Arsenal
At times, Arsenal’s number 19 has made clear his frustration when not chosen from the start. His muted celebration after coming off the bench to score against Aston Villa epitomised that. Evidenced by his sending off against Manchester City, Trossard has struggled to hit previous heights this term but his impact from the bench cannot be understated.

11 Mohammed Kudus
Club: West Ham United
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. Becoming one of West Ham’s talismen was not on the cards – but he’s made it look effortless while adjusting to the hustle and bustle of the top flight.

‘Jurgen Klopp Brought Me to Liverpool – But Arne Slot Has Made Me More Dangerous’
Jurgen Klopp got the best out of most of his players while Liverpool’s manager – but Arne Slot has helped one Reds star improve massively.
There were, of course, glimpses of his brilliance under the German – but he’s now a constant threat who is capable of going either way under his compatriot’s stewardship. There is plenty of competition on the left flank among the Anfield roster but Gakpo, once courted by rivals Manchester United, is doing all he can to cement himself as a starter in a rejuvenated Liverpool side.
9 Bryan Mbeumo
Club: Brentford
Brentford winger Bryan Mbeumo celebrating
Without Ivan Toney, Thomas Frank needed another member of his Brentford squad to produce the goods in front of goal, and Arsenal-linked Bryan Mbeumo has taken on that challenge. The only remaining member of the vicious BMW attack that also included Ollie Watkins and Said Benrahma, the Cameroon international has taken to centre stage expertly.

8 Anthony Gordon
Club: Newcastle
After not being allowed to really feature at the European Championships, Gordon has been forced to play more centrally for his club with Alexander Isak suffering with injuries. That has stunted the 23-year-old’s impact somewhat, but when he’s one-on-one with a defender, we dare anyone to try and stop him once he gets into full flight.

If there has been one player fans would say has benefitted from Jurgen Klopp leaving and Arne Slot coming into the fold at Anfield, it’s Luis Diaz. That’s not to suggest that Colombian was bad under the German coach, but his form this season has at times been otherworldly.

6 Jarrod Bowen
Club: West Ham United
Bowen has, much like Gordon, had the burden of leading the line under his new boss, which takes him away from his biggest strengths. Some might argue he deserves to be a tad lower, but that sums up the 27-year-old captain. Criminally underrated given that he has 65 goals and 43 assists to his name in West Ham colours.

5 Son Heung-min
Club: Tottenham Hotspur
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.
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. Something he has already proved in this campaign.
4 Phil Foden
Club: Manchester City
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.

3 Cole Palmer
Club: Chelsea
In the future, Cole Palmer could follow in the footsteps of his former teammate Foden and become one of the most exciting talents in world football. In fact, there’s enough of an argument to suggest he is after he became the only player to score four goals in a first half in Premier League history.

1 Mohamed Salah
Club: Liverpool
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. Under a new regime, the 32-year-old has continued in a similarly rich vein, which appears to be leading Liverpool towards a title charge that not too many would’ve expected.
