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 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.
Ranking Factors
- Longevity
- Current form
- Goal contributions
- Importance to team
- Consistency
- Availability
Only players whose preferred position on Transfermarkt was left-winger or right-winger were considered for selection.
15
Anthony Gordon
Club: Newcastle
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. Although many fans questioned the signing in the months after joining, he’s gone on to make a significant impact for Eddie Howe’s side.
Popping up with 11 goal contributions in the league alone last term, the England international helped fire the Magpies back into the Champions League and to Carabao Cup success too. Performance levels have dropped in 2025/26 so far, though, so he’ll need to pick things up to retain his place here.
14
Cody Gakpo
Club: Liverpool
For as long as Mohamed Salah remains on the red side of Merseyside, Cody Gakpo will never be the club’s go-to man. It would be remiss, however, to understate the Dutchman’s upturn in performances since Arne Slot took over the reins from Jurgen Klopp last summer.
‘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 added a clinical edge to his game, scoring 10 times. Liverpool as a whole have struggled so far this season, including Gakpo, with Slot needing more from the left-winger to completely turn their poor form around.
13
Mohammed Kudus
Club: Tottenham Hotspur
Mohammed Kudus’ red-hot form since moving to the Premier League from Ajax made 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 made it look effortless while adjusting to the hustle and bustle of the top flight.
Strong in duels, unpredictable and a menace to mark, Accra-born Kudus was a revelation in east London, and despite a rather disappointing season by his standards in the 2024/2025 campaign, still earned a move to Europa League winners Tottenham Hotspur. Even though Spurs haven’t looked their best under Thomas Frank, the 25-year-old has still been a creative menace, conjuring five assists so far.
12
Jarrod Bowen
Club: West Ham United
While West Ham United have struggled at times in the Premier League at different periods, England ace Jarrod Bowen has been the standard-bearer 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.
It’s been more of the same in 2025/26 — Graham Potter, Nuno Espirito Santo and the Irons’ squad have been well below par, but Bowen is continuing to try and drag them to safety. Five goals and one assist aren’t bad at all, but he will need to be more clinical and more creative to keep the London club up.
11
Pedro Neto
Club: Chelsea
A standout performer for Chelsea in their run to Conference League glory, Pedro Neto’s pace and dribbling have always been a problem ever since he made his mark at fellow Premier League side Wolves. He wasn’t always popular among the Stamford Bridge faithful in his maiden campaign in west London, not always possessing the end-product that was needed.
So far this term, it’s been a different story. Neto already has more goals than last term in just under half as many games and has been Enzo Maresca’s go-to man off the right. Estevao looks to be a bright prospect, but the Portuguese international will hold the fort until he is ready.
10
Bryan Mbeumo
Club: Manchester United
It is a testament to just how incredible Bryan Mbeumo has been for Brentford in recent seasons that only a select few players have contributed more goals and assists than the forward. The Cameroon international finally made the move to Manchester United in this summer transfer window, a reward for his spectacular 20-goal season at the G-tech Community Stadium.
A winger who is direct and with elite end product, it’s no surprise that the Red Devils wanted him. It’s not been a flawless start to life at Old Trafford, with six goals masking several lacklustre displays – but you’d be a fool to bet against him becoming the man he was in west London.
9
Iliman Ndiaye
Club: Everton
Since Iliman Ndiaye arrived at Everton from Marseille, he has been nothing short of magical to watch. A fleet-footed winger with the ability to weave in and out of defenders, the Senegalese international consistently gets fans off their seats — both at Goodison Park and now the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Having grabbed a respectable nine Premier League goals last term, he’s now managed four this term while assisting teammates on two occasions. Ndiaye’s performances have some of England’s best keeping tabs on him, including Merseyside rivals Liverpool.
8
Noni Madueke
Club: Arsenal
When Noni Madueke left Chelsea for Arsenal in the summer of 2025, it’s fair to say fans were less than thrilled. He’d shown glimpses as a Blue, but had never really taken off — and with him preferring to line up on the right, where Bukayo Saka plays, even more eyebrows were raised.
Now, though, the critics have gone silent. Madueke has filled in for Saka where necessary, providing dynamism off the flank which Mikel Arteta’s side have sorely needed. The goals and assists in the league might be lacking, but the 23-year-old is showing enough to make a late charge for a 2026 World Cup spot.
7
Antoine Semenyo
Club: Bournemouth
One of the breakout stars of the 2024/25 campaign, Antoine Semenyo lit the Vitality Stadium on fire with his performances for Bournemouth. A genuinely two-footed winger who can strike through the ball with both feet, the Ghanaian international has carried that blistering form into the new term, weighing in with seven goals and three assists.
He’s been a big reason why Bournemouth managed to make such an impressive start to the year, despite the club losing so many key players in the summer window. Semenyo might well be the next, though, with multiple Premier League clubs, including Manchester United, interested in him.
6
Jeremy Doku
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 solidified Doku as the first-choice left-winger at the Etihad Stadium.
However, after joining an exclusive list of players to have assisted four goals in a single Premier League game, performances really tailed off — that was, until this season. Doku has looked like a man possessed whenever he’s on the ball, causing carnage no matter who he faces. One goal and four assists so far aren’t bad numbers, but with Erling Haaland leading the line, he’s bound to get more considering how well he’s playing.
