Khvicha Kvaratskhelia: Gold Soccer Awards Best LM/LW/LF of 2026

Khvicha Kvaratskhelia is Gold Soccer Awards' Best LM/LW/LF for 2026, following a sensational campaign with Paris Saint-Germain.

A nightmare for defenders, his explosive acceleration, close control, creativity and ability to produce moments of brilliance make him one of the most exciting wide attackers in world football.

His 2025/26 season was exceptional. He scored ten goals and provided six assists in the Champions League, playing a pivotal role in PSG's successful title defence. UEFA recognised his contribution by naming him Champions League Player of the Season.

The finalists

Luis Díaz enjoyed an outstanding first season at Bayern Munich, scoring 15 Bundesliga goals and providing 14 assists. He also made an impression at the 2026 World Cup, scoring and assisting for Colombia. Manchester City's Jérémy Doku contributed eight goals and 11 assists in 2025/26, bringing his trademark pace and dribbling to the World Cup stage.

Three outstanding wingers, but Kvaratskhelia takes the award.
