Who are the players with the greatest weak-foot ability in world football right now? This is a topic that comes up frequently when football fans gather to discuss things related to the beautiful game.

Over the years, we've seen several players mesmerize us with their incredible talents; pulling off eye-catching skills and scoring goals that stay in the memory for long. However, the ability to do those wonders using both feet almost equally is possessed by just a few.

It is true that most footballers have a preffered foot that they make use of more frequently. A great example in the football world right now is Barcelona attacker Lionel Messi, who relies on his left foot to execute up to 75% of everything he does on the pitch.

Players with the best weak-foot ability in world football

In contrast, there are players who are comfortable with utilizing their weaker foot just as much as they are with the stronger one. Below, we'll take a look at 5 players with the greatest weak-foot ability.

#5 Toni Kroos

Real Madrid's midfield general gets a spot on the list

German international Toni Kroos was instrumental in Real Madrid's recent European dominance that led to three consecutive Champions League triumphs.

Kroos helped Los Blancos dominate opponents, alternating between his two feet to create magic in the center and sending inch-perfect crosses into the box from every angle. His ambidextrous ability has seen him occupy several positions in midfield for both club and country over the past few seasons andhe has impressed in all.

#4 Santi Carzola

There is no way this list will be complete without former Arsenal and Villareal maestro Santi Cazorla. The Spaniard is the true definition of what an ambidextrous footballer is.

Such was his ability to impress with both feet that Arsene Wenger admitted in an interview that he didn't know exactly which was the midfielder's stronger foot after he signed him from Malaga in 2012.

Cazorla wowed fans in the Premier League for years before eventually leaving Arsenal for Villareal after his contract with the Gunners expired in 2018. He is currently plying his trade at Qatari club Al Sadd.

#3. Ousmane Dembele

Ousmane Dembele might not have lived up to expectations after completing a big-money move to Barcelona from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2017 but he has already shown us that he definitely deserves his spot on this list.

The Frenchman is arguably the most ambidextrous player there is in European football at the moment. He can dribble efficiently with either foot, navigate to any side and leave markers chasing air.

Even the player himself doesn't know which is his stronger foot and feels the same level of comfort with both. He admitted this in an interview during his days at Signal Iduna Park and his statistics at Barcelona back this statement. The attacker has scored 27 goals in the Barca shirt, with 14 coming from his right and 13 from his left.

#2. Neymar

Another superstar who impresses with both feet

The Paris Saint-Germain winger is easily the most skilled player in world football right now. His tricks, dribbles, creativity and genius moves are second to none, but what really makes him efficient and unstoppable is the ability to do any of this stuff with either of his feet.

Deployed on the left flank for both club and country, the Brazilian leaves opposition defenders flummoxed most of the time. He is unpredictable, always taking quick turns and alternating between sides to create space for his attacking mates to exploit.

With over 300 goals scored in his professional career, Neymar is without doubt one of the greatest attackers we've witnessed in recent years.

#1 Cristiano Ronaldo

The most prolific forward in the world right now

Cristiano Ronaldo simply can't be ignored. The Juventus talisman is still going strong despite celebrating his 36th birthday at the turn of the year.

When we talk about the most potent attackers with the best weak-foot ability in world football right now, there's certainly no bigger name than the iconic Portuguese winger.

No player in history has scored as many goals with his weaker foot as Ronaldo. The winger's left foot has produced a massive 145 goals so far. In addition, CR7 has a total of 783 goals to his name for both club and country, with 501 scored with his right foot, 135 with his head and the remaining two scored using other body parts.
