The British network “givemesport” selected Egyptian star Mohamed Salah among the top 10 right wingers in football history, following his outstanding performances with Liverpool since joining in the summer transfer window of 2017 from AS Roma. The list includes 10 players, with only two still active: Salah and Argentine icon Lionel Messi. The right wing position has seen the best football players in the world shine, evolving from traditional crossing roles to creative playmakers on the field. Salah ranked tenth, praised for his speed, dribbling, and crucial role in Liverpool’s Premier League title win after 30 years and their Champions League victory. Salah has won the Premier League Golden Boot four times and FIFA’s Puskás Award in 2018 for the best goal worldwide. Messi tops the list with 1,264 goal contributions (875 goals and 389 assists) in 1,117 matches, known for his exceptional skills, precise dribbling, and decisive goals.

He surpasses Brazilian legend Garrincha and Manchester United legend George Best, who rank second and third respectively. Other notable players include Stanley Matthews (Ballon d’Or 1956), Jimmy Johnstone, Gareth Bale, Luis Figo, David Beckham, and Dutch winger Arjen Robben, who ranks ninth ahead of Salah.
