Best wingers in the world: Our top 10
10. Serge Gnabry (Bayern Munich)
10. Bradley Barcola (PSG)
The 23-year old is one of PSG's main young talents and this season he seems to be on his way to further proving himself as one of the best wingers in the world. Barcola can also play as a right winger or even forward, where he is equally effective, but he is mostly used on left wing, where his speed and agility show the most.
This season in Ligue 1, Barcola has scored 10 goals, and has provided one assist.
8. Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth & Manchester City)
The only entry from the Premier League, Antoine Semenyo, deserves his place on the list after an outstanding campaign. The Ghanaian winger scored 10 goals for Bournemouth, earning a move to Manchester City in January, and he has continued his fine form with five goals in nine league matches under Pep Guardiola.
7. Mason Greenwood (Marseille)
With his dark days at Manchester United now behind him, Mason Greenwood has begun to show his true quality in Ligue 1. Although it has been a disappointing campaign for Marseille, the 24-year-old has been a standout performer, registering 15 goals and four assists in the league.
6. Vinicius Junior (Real Madrid)
Following a public fallout with Xabi Alonso, Vinicius Junior has continued to showcase his quality when deployed in his preferred role on the left flank. The Brazilian has registered 11 goals and five assists, including nine goal contributions in his last 10 matches at the time of writing.
5. Raphinha (Barcelona)
After a relatively slow start to the 2025–26 campaign, the former Leeds United winger Raphinha has rediscovered his best form in the closing stages of the season. The Brazilian has scored 11 goals and provided three assists in La Liga this term, although he may struggle to reach the same heights he achieved last season.
4. Yan Diomande (RB Leipzig)
Another standout performer from the Bundesliga, Yan Diomande, has dazzled in his debut season at RB Leipzig. With his mazy dribbling and ability to pick out key passes, the 19-year-old has been a class apart with 16 goal contributions, and it comes as no surprise that several top clubs are reportedly vying for his signature.
3. Luis Diaz (Bayern Munich)
The third representative from Bayern Munich on this list comes in the form of new signing Luis Diaz. The now ex-Liverpool star boasts impressive 26 goal contributions in the Bundesliga so far.
2. Michael Olise (Bayern Munich)
Under Vincent Kompany, Bayern Munich have reached new heights this season, and while Harry Kane continues to grab the headlines with his record-breaking exploits, Michael Olise has been nothing short of sensational. With 11 goals and 17 assists in the Bundesliga, along with a further eight goal contributions in the Champions League, the Frenchman has been operating at an exceptional level.
1. Lamine Yamal (Barcelona)
Yamal is the best winger in the world at the moment in our opinion, and it is hard to believe that he is only 18! The teenager has 14 goals and nine assists in La Liga so far, and recently finished second in the 2025 Ballon d'Or standings.
