Top 3 young wingers in the world at the moment

We are already past the halfway mark of the 2018-19 season and we have seen some brilliant attacking talent on display. Some very young players are stepping up for their respective teams and have become increasingly important cogs in their respective teams' jigsaws.

Playing as a winger brings with it a lot of challenges. For a youngster, it can be a tricky position to play in. A winger has to track back and help his defense, whilst also contributing at the opposite end with goals and assists. Stamina is a keyword for any winger and young players are brimming with it.

This season we have seen many young players coming through the ranks and assuming responsibility for their sides. We seem to be entering into something of a golden age in terms of exciting centre forwards across the globe, and we take a look at some of the very best of them here.

So without further ado, here are the top 3 young wingers in the world at the moment:S

Statistics used:- One Football

#3 Federico Chiesa

ACF Fiorentina v SSC Napoli - Serie A

Federico Chiesa has been brilliant for Fiorentina this season. Chiesa is a versatile player who primarily plays on the right wing, but he is equally capable of playing on the left and through the middle. He is a two-footed player and nearly half of his shots have come from his weaker left foot.

Only 21 years old, the right winger is in a brilliant position to build his career. His attacking talents haven't gone unnoticed and Fiorentina would hope that their young attacker stays with them for a few more years at least.

In terms of stats in the Serie A this season, Chiesa has scored 5 goals and made a further 3. He has completed 56 of his dribbles and given a total of 59 crosses, whilst a goal every 413 minutes.

#2 Leroy Sane

Huddersfield Town v Manchester City - Premier League

Leroy Sane started this season like a house on fire after being overlooked for the FIFA World Cup by Germany. The 22-year old forward has been instrumental in attack for Manchester City. After being criticized publicly for his attitude by Pep Guardiola, Sane has worked hard and made the left wing position his own.

The German is a left winger by trade and his dribbling abilities can be compared to some of the best in the world. The former Schalke youngster has done a fantastic job in keeping his position in a team full of superstars. Sane will have to keep his form up if City are to pip Liverpool for the Premier League title come May.

In terms of stats in the Premier League this season, Sane has scored 8 goals and has given 9 assists. He has completed 47 of his dribbles and given a total of 43 crosses. He averages a goal every 180 minutes.

#1 Jadon Sancho

Tottenham Hotspur v Borussia Dortmund - UEFA Champions League Round of 16: First Leg

Jadon Sancho has come into his own for Borussia Dortmund in the Bundesliga this season. He has been one of the most talked about English talents of this season along with Declan Rice. Sancho has established himself as a first choice right winger in the Dortmund side at the age of 18, which just tells you the talent he has.

Sancho has featured both on the left and the right wing and he has also played the free role in the absence of Marco Reus. The former City youngster is the highest assisting teenager in Europe's top 5 leagues. If Sancho keeps his form up, Dortmund will face a daunting task of keeping their star man in the summer.

In terms of stats in the Bundesliga this season, Sancho has scored 7 goals and made a further 9. He has completed 71 of his dribbles and given a total of 20 crosses. He averages a goal every 206 minutes.
