#3 Mason Greenwood (Manchester United)

The Premier League is blessed with some stunning young talent and Mason Greenwood is surely one of them. The Englishman has graduated from Manchester United's academy and looks a very promising attacker.

Greenwood got his senior start at United in 2019. In his very debut season, he ended up scoring 10 goals. The young striker has the potential to be one of the best strikers not only in the Premier League but in the world.

His dribbling skills, smart decision-making and fine shot accuracy make him a formidable attacker. Greenwood being a left-footed player can shoot equally well with his right foot. In fact, it is even debatable if left is his preferred foot.

This unpredictability gives him the edge every single time. The 19-year old has so far made 70 appearances in the Premier League, scoring 20 goals, out of which 5 have been scored with his right foot.


#2 Cristiano Ronaldo (Manchester United)

Nothing has made a Manchester United fan happier this summer than the return of Cristiano Ronaldo. The Portugal captain is one of the best footballers in the world.

With his experience and talent, Ronaldo has run riot in different leagues over the course of 20 seasons. In his younger days, the former Sporting Lisbon player was a deadly winger. With his mind-boggling skills, amazing pace and tremendous desire to score and create, Ronaldo was almost unstoppable.

Irrespective of the club, league, team-mates and manager, the right-footed forward has been successful wherever he went. Ronaldo was a grand success in his first tenure in the Premier League. Even his return has started on a fantastic note, with the Portuguese scoring four goals in three games across all competitions for Manchester United.

The Euro 2016 winner has made 198 appearances in the Premier League so far, during which time he has scored 87 goals. Out of 87, 10 of them have been with his left foot. Statistics don't justify how great he has been with his weaker foot. In his career, out of 732 goals to date, Ronaldo has scored 124 times with his left foot.


#1 Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)

The South Korean has been a boon to Tottenham Hotspur ever since he arrived from Bayer Leverkusen in 2015. Son Heung-min started his career by graduating from the academy of Hamburger SV.

From there, he signed for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, where he attracted a lot of attention with his impressive performances. Ever since signing for Spurs, the forward has been an integral part of the north London club.

Son's partnership with Harry Kane has been a delight for the spectators. Even in the absence of Kane, the right-footed attacker has been a reliable outlet on the field.

The 29-year old has made 201 appearances for Spurs in the Premier League, playing in different positions. He has played on both sides of the pitch as a winger, midfielder and also as a wing-back.

Son has even played centrally and wherever he has been asked to play, he has proved his worth. He has scored 72 goals in his 201 appearances in the league, out of which 27 goals have come from his 'weaker' left foot.
