The top right backs in the world have been ranked, and four English players can be found there.

Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold ranks second on the overall list compiled by football publication FourFourTwo. But Joao Cancelo, a star signing for Manchester City, has surpassed him.

The Portuguese international is “the star of the show” for Pep Guardiola’s side as they near the Premier League championship. With his versatility, “Cancelo functions as a defender, midfielder, and attacker all in one” FFT writes.

Note this, though, Gareth Southgate. The decision not to call up Alexander-Arnold in March was deemed “astonishing,” and he has been called “a class act” since being left out of the England manager’s last squad amid controversy.

But there’s no denying that Southgate has a ton of depth on the right side of defense. Kieran Trippier of Atletico Madrid places fourth, Kyle Walker of Manchester City places sixth, and Reece James of Chelsea, age 21 years old, ranks eighth.

Aaron Wan-Bissaka, a right back for Manchester United, didn’t make the cut, nor did Dani Carvajal of Real Madrid or World Cup champion Benjamin Pavard of France, both of whom play for Bayern Munich.

Third-placed Moroccan defender Achraf Hakimi is the best outside of the Premier League, with FFT saying, “The sky’s the limit for how much he might improve.” In the long run, he might be one of the best right backs in the world.

Another rising star, Sergino Dest of Barcelona, is lauded for his playmaking with Lionel Messi but criticized for his defensive shortcomings: “He”s poor in the air and his ability to time and executive tackles needs improvement.”

Trent Alexander Arnold, Kieran Trippier, Reece James, Lists, and the Premier League are discussed. The three players were Joao Cancelo, Kyle Walker, and Juan Cuadrado.
