Modified Apr 02, 2019 17:11 GMT

Jadon Sancho is a fantastic right winger, but where does he stand among the top 5?

#4 Suso (Spain, A. C. Milan)

The Spaniard has been impressive on the right this season

Suso has mostly appeared in the forward right position for A.C. Milan this season but is equally capable of playing through the middle or as a right midfielder. The Spaniard’s versatility is one of his assets and Suso has been quite impressive through the right this season.

The Spaniard is blessed with good ball control and has a very creative outlook on the field. Suso can spot a pass and is known for his final balls. He has already registered seven assists so far this season. He also likes to shoot at goal, including attempting long rangers and has scored six goals from 32 appearances in all competitions.

The 25-year-old is a decent passer of the ball and is equally adept at sending in crosses from the right. He is a huge threat from counter attacks because he has the pace to burn. His speed and skills on the ball mean that he gets fouled often as defenders try to stop him. On current form, Suso is one of the best right wingers in the world.
