Top 10 Best Right Wingers In The Football World 2024!
The world of football has changed and now we love to wingers take the lead and score goals rather than relying on the strikers. Football has evolved a lot in recent times and now it is more structured giving every player on the pitch a chance to showcase their talent. In recent times we have seen Leo Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo who play on the wing dominate every other striker in the last 2 decades, there was no competition for them in scoring goals. Modern fans are more excited to see wingers score goals rather than strikers because it takes a lot to score goals when you play on the wing. They are also naturally more skillful than a traditional striker so it is always a joy to watch a winger score a goal for the team.
In 2024 there are many emerging faces who have the potential to take the legacy ahead of Cristiano and Messi. There is no shortage of talent and we have tough competition among the young right-wingers in 2024.
Top 10 Right Wingers In 2024!
10: Moussa Diaby
After proving his worth in Bayer Leverkusen Diaby got his big move to Aston Villa in the previous season. The ex-PSG player is playing exceptionally this season and is an important part of the team. Aston Villa fans are very happy with his performances and the skills he shows on the pitch. The manager Unai Emery knows how to utilize Diaby and make him an undefeatable force either on the right or the left flank.

9: Dejan Kulusevski
Kulusevski is one of the most talented youngsters in the Premier League. The player has proved himself in his time in Italy and got a chance to move into the English club Tottenham. He is not as good at scoring goals compared to other players on this list but his presence is felt whenever he plays on the far wing and midfield. It is a great asset for Tottenham to have Kulusevski in the squad. The Swedish player however has a lot left to prove and given the kind of skills he possesses it won’t be difficult for him to make a name for himself in the English League.

Saka had many bad moments in his career where he could have lost his confidence but he did not let all those affect him instead he bounced back like a champion and worked hard on his game to improve from his mistakes. Bukayo Saka still has a lot of time on his hands to win plenty of things and make a name for his own in the English League.

6: Ousmane Dembele
Dembele was one of the most promising talents of this generation who could not reach his potential. Injuries ruined his career as he spent more time in the hospital than being on the pitch. All these tough situations did not stop him and now he has secured a move to PSG where he is showcasing his skills in Paris.
Dembele has kept a good record after moving to PSG which secures his position on this list. Dembele has been one of the best skillers in Europe for a long time.

5: Lamine Yamal
The next big thing at Barcelona has the attention of the whole world. Yamal is only 16 years old and has already proved how good he is on the pitch. Being good at the right wing for Barcelona it is natural for him to be compared to Leo Messi. Although there is plenty to learn and grow this youngster has been highly promising and is a product of La Masia.
Yamal is the youngest player in the history of Barcelona to appear in the Champions League. The player has not lifted a lot of titles in his career but one thing is certain he will be on this list for many years in the future.

4: Phil Foden
Manchester City is filled with champions and great talents. Foden is a player who is trained carefully under Pep Guardiola who has helped Messi in his early career in Barcelona. There are a lot of similarities in this case as the player is highly skilled and has a great vision just like Messi. Foden is an important part of the City squad and is a regular starter, when he joined was perceived as the replacement for David Silva and he successfully did that.
Being a part of City in 2024 the player has a lot of titles under his belt already, we can say the future for Foden is very bright if he continues his winning ways.

3: Mohammed Salah
Salah is the go-to player for Liverpool for any crisis they face. After the departure of Sadio Mane the whole team relies heavily on Salah and he does not disappoints. In the last few years, Mo Salah has proved why he is among the best wingers in the world and the best player in the history of Egypt. Despite being a winger he is the highest goalscorer in the history of Liverpool.
The chances of Liverpool qualifying for the Champions League are very high and there is also a possibility for them to win the Premier League if everything goes well. Salah is fighting toe-to-toe with Haaland in terms of goals and there is a battle for supremacy between them. However, we must appreciate Salah more as he does not play as a traditional striker like Haaland which makes it difficult to score goals regularly.

2: Rodrygo
The evolution of Real Madrid has been phenomenal. People did not expect the team to flourish without Cristiano, Bale or Benzema but Carlo Ancelotti has proved everyone wrong. Real Madrid is looking dangerous with the kind of talents they have in their team. The team do not have a traditional striker but the team on the pitch is more than capable of winning against any team they face. In this perfect team, there is a huge contribution of Rodrygo who has always been of great help to the team.
The world can never forget what he did for Real Madrid in the knockout stages of the Champions League against Manchester City, only a few players among thousands have experienced what he did at a very young age. The team relies heavily on his creativity and his sync with Vinicius on the pitch as these two players are the ones who usually assist the goalscorer or score themselves.

1: Leo Messi
Messi is a player who does not need an introduction no matter which list it is. The player recently moved to Inter Miami from PSG, a move which was heavily criticized by many fans around the world. It was anticipated of him to lose his form but he didn’t. The player won the World Cup and the Ballon d’Or for a record 8 times in 2023. Messi is at that point in his career where he has won everything and awards do not mean a lot to him or his legacy.
Things are not the same as they used to be as age is getting the better of him. We only have a few more years to see him play on the pitch and once he retires it will be very difficult to again experience someone like Messi in future.
