Ranking the top 10 right backs in the world

England v Croatia: Semi Final - 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia
England are able to call on two of the world's top right backs

#4 Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Manchester City v Feyenoord - UEFA Champions League
Walker has really excelled under Pep Guardiola

Walker is another one of the England players who impressed during the run to the World Cup semi-final in Russia. The 28-year-old played in a different role for his country in the summer though, as he took up a centre back role in an attempt to give Gareth Southgate more options. He is, however, an excellent full back in his own right, and has proved this on numerous occasions in the past.

He has come on in a number of different ways since moving to play under Pep Guardiola. He gets into better positions in defensive areas as well as attacking ones and has become much more comfortable with the ball at his feet. Under Guardiola, he plays slightly more inside in an area where he can impact upon the game more, and use his pace to get up and down the pitch so he could cover defensively.
