Top 5 Most Efficient Wingers in the Five Major Leagues in 2025: Yamal Leads with 44 Goal Contributions, Barcelona and Bayern Each Have Two Players

In modern football, wingers are vital to a team's offensive system. Liverpool's struggles this season, even after acquiring multiple top signings, stem from both flanks underperforming: Díaz moved to Bayern on the left, and Salah’s form plunged on the right, affected by age and his lucrative £400,000 weekly deal. Barcelona faces a similar issue; their left winger Rafinha has been sidelined for a long time, and Yamal’s performance has dipped due to injuries and an undisciplined lifestyle. Bayern, however, is the opposite: on the right, Olise has maintained his excellent form from last season, and new signing Díaz on the left works tirelessly, allowing the team’s wings to flourish and boosting their overall fighting strength.

According to foreign media outlet Score90, the number of goal involvements (goals plus assists) by wingers in club and national team matches across the five major leagues in 2025 was tallied, resulting in a top five efficiency ranking.

• First: Yamal (18 years old, valued at €200 million), Barcelona/Spain, 44 goal involvements in 51 matches.
• Second: Rafinha (28 years old, valued at €90 million), Barcelona/Brazil, 40 goal involvements in 44 matches.
• Third: Olise (23 years old, valued at €130 million), Bayern/France, 38 goal involvements in 52 matches.
• Fourth: Balcola (23 years old, valued at €70 million), Paris Saint-Germain/France, 37 goal involvements in 55 matches.
• Fifth: Luis Díaz (28 years old, valued at €70 million), Liverpool→Bayern/Colombia, 33 goal involvements in 50 matches.
