It is a well-known fact in sports that change and working on weaknesses is needed by any athlete who wishes to dominate and stay on top of their game for long periods of time. This becomes more necessary for players playing in the best leagues in the world such as the Premier League.
Footballers are constantly practicing and perfecting new skills and techniques to keep their opponents guessing so as to get the upper hand in the contest.
A great weapon for any footballer especially an attacker is if he is two-footed. Being two-footed allows them to go either way, confusing the defenders and getting the better of them. Some players are born two-footed while others commit a large portion of their training regime to develop their weaker foot significantly.

In this article, we will look at the top players who are two-footed currently playing in the Premier League.
5 Best two footed players in the Premier League
#5 Youri Tielemans - Leicester City
Youri Tielemans has really impressed in the Premier League since his loan move to Leicester City in January 2019; which was later made permanent in that summer on the basis of his stellar performances.
After starting out as a holding midfielder at Anderlecht, Tielemans moved to a more advanced role in midfield because of his speed, timing and ability to pass and shoot with either feet. Many have compared him to Frank Lampard because of his ability to launch attacks with killer long passes and his willingness to be present in the box to get goals.
He has already established himself as a key player in Brendan Rodgers's midfield along with James Maddison. Tielemans has started the new season well and proven important to Leicester City's excellent early season form which sees them sitting in second behind Liverpool in the Premier League table.
At just 23 years of age, Youri Tielemans will continue to improve and add more to his game.
#4 Richarlison - Everton
Richarlison arrived in England as a 20 years old winger when he signed for Watford in 2017. He showed raw talent and skills that got everyone's attention in his first season but it was clear that he needed to develop his game further to reach the top.
But one area where he had an advantage over others was his two footedness; whether it was shooting, dribbling or passing. Out of his 32 league goals, 11 have come from his left foot.
Richarlison moved to Everton in his second season in England along with his Watford Manager Marco Silva. At Everton he continued to progress and soon became a key player as the club looked to break into the exclusive 'Big 6'.
He is a versatile player who can play on either flanks or even straight through the middle. This season he along with James Rodríguez and Dominic Calvert-Lewin have gotten Everton off to a flying start in the Premier League as they chase Champions League football.
#3 Diogo Jota - Liverpool
Diogo Jota has been a revelation since joining Liverpool from Wolves this season. Widely believed to be signed to provide cover to the main front 3 and quality off the bench, Jota is quickly making it hard for Jurgen Klopp to leave him out of the starting 11. With 7 goals already to his name; Jota is proving to be a bargain for Liverpool, who have finally found a player good enough to push their star front 3.
Diogo Jota is into his fourth season in English football and has proven in that time to be a very able two footed player; scoring goals with both his feet with equal ease. His form will be essential if Liverpool are to retain their Premier League crown.
#2 Mason Greenwood - Manchester United
He has formed a deadly trident with Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial, and will look to build on his impressive breakout season as Manchester United chase success in the Premier League and the Champions League.
#1 Kevin De Bruyne - Manchester City
Manchester City's midfield maestro Kevin De Bruyne takes the title of being the best two footed player in the league. The reason for his equally good 'weaker' foot as given by a Belgian journalist is that as a kid Kevin De Bruyne was banned from using his preferred right foot by his neighbors as he was destroying their grass and flowers. Kevin De Bruyne has developed into one of the best midfielders in the world since leaving Chelsea for the Bundesliga.
He joined Manchester City in 2015 and has taken the Premier League by storm since then. His game has evolved so much since his Chelsea days and he can now play anywhere in the midfield as he has the power, vision and skills for any position. Pep Guardiola mainly uses him as a box to box player who controls the tempo of the game for his team. Kevin De Bruyne will be even more important to the Cityzens title ambitions this season after the departure of City legend David Silva at the end of last season; and he will be hoping to use both his feet as Manchester City hunt European success.
