The 2025/26 season has been full of surprises, especially when it comes to wingers. Some players have completely turned their careers around, while others are finally living up to the hype. From Rashford’s rebirth at Barcelona to Luis DÃaz shining in Germany, this season has reminded us how crucial wide players are in modern football.
Here’s a look at the Top 10 Best Wingers in the World (2025/26 Season) — ranked based on their form, consistency, and overall impact so far.
10. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (PSG)
Khvicha Kvaratskhelia’s rise to the top of European football was something most of us saw coming a mile away — his performances at Euro 2024 confirmed it.
One of the best dribblers in the world, Kvaratskhelia plays seamlessly with both feet and is a nightmare for any defender when he’s running at full speed.
This season, he’s been impressive too, but not quite up to his usual standard — at least not yet.
9. Cody Gakpo (Liverpool)
The Dutchman is one of those players you love today and get frustrated with tomorrow — his inconsistency continues to be an issue even in 2026.
However, Gakpo has still managed 4 goals and 3 assists in 16 appearances for Liverpool this season, along with 2 goals and 1 assist for the Netherlands in their World Cup qualifiers.
8. Bradley Barcola (Paris Saint-Germain)
Kylian Mbappé’s departure from PSG opened the door for a new generation of stars to step up, and Bradley Barcola has embraced that opportunity brilliantly.
So far this season, he’s recorded 4 goals and 4 assists in 21 appearances, including his contributions in the Club World Cup.
7. Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)
Trossard and Martinelli have been sharing minutes for Arsenal this season, but both have made strong impacts especially Trossard, who has taken advantage of every opportunity given to him.
In 14 games, he’s scored 4 goals and provided 4 assists, averaging a solid 7.3 rating per match.
6. Rafael Leão (AC Milan)
Leão joined the team late and has only played 7 of Milan’s 11 Serie A games this season, but despite the limited appearances, he has arguably been the most impressive left winger in the league.
He’s scored 5 goals and registered 1 assist in just 8 appearances.
5. Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
Despite playing for a smaller club, Semenyo kicked off the season brilliantly, although his form has dipped slightly in recent weeks.
In 12 appearances so far, he’s scored 6 goals and provided 3 assists — an excellent return for a Bournemouth forward.
4. VinÃcius Júnior (Real Madrid)
VinÃcius has set incredibly high standards for himself, and everyone expects him to keep delivering impressive numbers — something he continues to do.
With 6 goals and 5 assists already this season, he’s maintained a strong average rating per game, even in matches where he didn’t directly contribute to a goal.
3. Jeremy Doku (Manchester City)
Jeremy Doku is the type of winger you can’t truly appreciate if you only judge by goal contributions.
Although he has 9 goal involvements this season, his real value lies in his creativity and dribbling — constantly opening up spaces for teammates like Haaland. He’s completed an impressive 34 dribbles in the Premier League already.
2. Luis DÃaz (Bayern Munich)
Like Rashford, Luis DÃaz has completely turned things around since leaving Liverpool. Once known for inconsistency, he’s now one of Bayern Munich’s most reliable performers.
He’s currently having the best season of his career, with 11 goals and 5 assists in just 17 appearances — compared to the 17 goals he scored in 50 games in his final Liverpool season.
1. Marcus Rashford (Barcelona)
Marcus Rashford has transformed his football career from bad to brilliant since joining Barcelona on loan in the summer of 2025.
In his last season with Manchester United, he managed just 7 goals and 3 assists, and during his loan spell at Aston Villa, he added 4 goals and 3 assists.
But at Barcelona, Rashford has rediscovered his spark — scoring 6 goals and providing 7 assists in just 16 appearances. He’s also the second-highest scorer in the Champions League this season.
