Top 5 wingers in Premier League
5. Luis Diaz - Liverpool
The Colombian made a phenomenal start to the season with five goals. He has struggled to score in the last few games but continues to play a key role in Arne Slot's side, who are top of the table after 12 matches. He would've been higher on this list if he was consistent.
With the Reds fighting for the title, Diaz will need to rediscover his early-season form, especially during the busy period.
4. Brennan Johnson - Tottenham Hotspur
The 23-year-old arrived at Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023 but made a slow start to life in North London. However, he has become a key player under Ange Postecoglou. Last campaign, he registered five goals and 10 assists in 35 games.
This season, he has matched the goals tally in 12 games. The former Nottingham Forest forward has scored against Manchester United, Aston Villa, and Manchester City.
3. Bryan Mbeumo - Brentford
The Cameroon international has been one of the most consistent players in the Premier League. With Ivan Toney off to Saudi Arabia, he has been responsible for scoring and creating goals and has done exceptionally well.
The 25-year-old has registered eight goals this campaign in 12 games. He only got nine last season, meaning he will surpass that tally in the next few games. Mbeumo has been linked with a move to the top six clubs.
2. Bukayo Saka - Arsenal
Saka had the best season of his career in 2023/24 with 16 goals and nine assists in the league. His numbers helped Arsenal register one of their best seasons in the Premier League but ultimately and narrowly lost the title.
This campaign, he has five goals and 10 assists in 11 matches, per Transfermarkt. No player has registered more assists than the England star. Mikel Arteta is relying on one of his star players to lead them to the title after missing out last campaign.
1. Mohamed Salah - Liverpool
The Egypt international has been one of the best players in the league this season. Erling Haaland might be the only player better than the Liverpool star. He continues to silence the doubters with consistent performances.
He has registered 10 goals and six assists for the Reds this campaign, which places him in the top two of both categories. Arne Slot's side are top of the league, and much of that is because of Salah. He is the best winger in the English top-flight, without a doubt.
Salah on his future
Legit.ng earlier reported that Salah provided a controversial update on his future at Liverpool, with his contract set to expire next summer.
The Egyptian said he is "more out than in" at Liverpool, sparking mixed reactions from fans.
