5 Best Right Wingers in the World this season

#3 Nicolas Pepe (Ivory Costa, Lille)

Nicolas Pepe can be a handful for the defenders on the pitch

The Ivorian is an exciting young player who can be a handful for the defenders. Pepe likes running at defences, is full of speed and has a cracking left foot. But what sets him apart is his skills on the ball, which range from nifty to downright outrageous.

Pepe has a great turn of pace and can leave defenders for dead in the counter. This season, he has been in inspirational form for Lille on the field. Pepe also has the ability to spot his team mates and set them up. He has already registered 11 assists this season

The 23-year-old has mostly appeared as a right winger for his club this season, but can also operate as a right midfielder. He likes to cut in from the right and shoot with his stronger right foot. He is extremely composed in front of goal and has already scored 19 goals from 33 games in all competitions.
