Fanatik sayfasından alınan verilere göre, SonTurkHaber.com bilgi veriyor.

Football has evolved, and with it, the role of the right-back. No longer solely a defensive specialist, the modern right-back is a dynamic force, expected to contribute to both attack and defense with relentless energy, tactical intelligence, and technical prowess. From overlapping runs and pinpoint crosses to crucial tackles and tactical inversions, the demands on this position are higher than ever.

As of June 2025, the global football landscape boasts an impressive array of talent at right-back. This article highlights some of the standout performers who are currently considered among the best in the world, showcasing their unique attributes and why they excel in the demanding modern game.

The best right-backs in world football right now: A top 10 countdown

The selection of the "best" is always subjective and can depend on a team's tactical setup, a player's current form, and the specific strengths they bring. However, certain names consistently feature in discussions for their exceptional quality.

10. Kieran Trippier

A seasoned professional, Trippier brings immense experience, leadership, and a pinpoint delivery from wide areas and set pieces. His defensive positioning and tireless work rate make him a reliable presence, while his attacking crosses are a constant threat. He's a complete full-back who consistently delivers high-quality performances for club and country.

9. João Cancelo

Though he can operate on both flanks, Cancelo's versatility and unique style have often seen him shine at right-back. His exceptional technical ability, dribbling skills, and creative passing from deep allow him to function almost as a secondary playmaker. His vision and ability to switch flanks make him a tactical weapon, even if his defensive commitment can sometimes be questioned.

8. Jules Koundé

Primarily a center-back by trade, Jules Koundé has consistently shown his versatility and quality at right-back for Barcelona and the French national team. His exceptional defensive awareness, strength in duels, and composure on the ball make him a highly reliable option. While perhaps not as overtly attacking as some full-backs, his defensive stability and ability to play out from the back are world-class.

7. Denzel Dumfries

Denzel Dumfries is a powerhouse on the right flank, excelling as a wing-back in Inter's system. His athleticism, powerful forward runs, and aerial threat make him a significant offensive weapon, often arriving in the box to score crucial goals. He combines this attacking prowess with strong defensive contributions, making him a vital player in both phases of play.

6. Reece James

When fit, Reece James possesses an almost unparalleled blend of defensive solidity, attacking power, and exceptional crossing ability. His physicality and technique allow him to dominate his flank on both ends of the pitch. Unfortunately, injuries have plagued his recent seasons, but his potential and peak performance level place him firmly among the elite.

5. Jeremie Frimpong

Frimpong exploded onto the scene as a key component of Xabi Alonso's sensational Bayer Leverkusen side. His attacking verve, blistering pace, dribbling skills, and ability to link up with attackers are exceptional. Playing primarily as a right wing-back in a dynamic system, his high output of goals and assists demonstrates his immense offensive influence.

4. Kyle Walker

Walker is a defensive stalwart known for his incredible recovery pace, strength, and tactical discipline. In Pep Guardiola's system, he often acts as a third center-back when his team is in possession, providing defensive stability. His blistering speed allows him to nullify the fastest wingers and recover from dangerous situations, making him an elite one-on-one defender.

3. Dani Carvajal

A veteran of numerous triumphs, Dani Carvajal continues to be an integral part of Real Madrid's success. His unwavering consistency, defensive intelligence, and ability to perform in crucial moments set him apart. Carvajal combines tenacious defending with intelligent overlapping runs, proving that experience and tactical astuteness can still outperform pure athleticism in key areas. His recent Champions League final performances further highlight his enduring class.

2. Trent Alexander-Arnold

While sometimes scrutinized for his defensive solidity, Trent Alexander-Arnold's offensive output is simply unparalleled for a right-back. His passing range, vision, and crossing ability are akin to a world-class midfielder, often dictating the tempo of Liverpool's attacks from deep. When deployed as an inverted right-back or even in midfield, his creative brilliance shines, making him a unique and indispensable asset.

1. Achraf Hakimi

Hakimi is arguably the most dynamic and electrifying right-back in world football. His blistering pace, incredible stamina, and keen eye for goal make him a constant threat in attack. Operating as a wing-back or a traditional full-back, he consistently provides width, delivers dangerous crosses, and is capable of finding the back of the net himself. His defensive contributions have also improved significantly, making him a truly complete and dominant force on the right flank.

The modern right-back is a testament to the evolving nature of football, blending defensive duties with crucial offensive responsibilities. These ten players represent the pinnacle of this demanding position, each bringing a unique set of skills that contribute significantly to their teams' success in the current footballing landscape.
