One player to watch from every team at Euro 2020, including the son of a World Cup hero, the next Zlatan Ibrahimovic, and an English midfield maestro

Age: 27

Position: Midfield

Club: RB Leipzig (Germany)

Marcel Sabitzer was one of the Bundesliga's outstanding midfielders for the 2020/21 season, scoring eight goals and providing four assists as RB Leipzig finished second, its best ever league performance

Acting as a double pivot in central midfielder, the Austrian's passing range is something to be admired, while his shooting is deadly — as demonstrated best by his stunning goal against Zenit St. Petersburg in the 2019 Champions League.

With a lack of first class strikers in its squad, Austria will be relying heavily on Sabitzer to both create and finish at Euro 2020.

Position: Winger

Club: Stade Rennais (France)

Belgium's squad is full of world renowned stars such as Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne, and Thibaut Courtois.

Away from the superstars, though, the team is also packed full of talent.

19-year-old Jeremy Doku is somewhat of an anomaly, but the rapid, tricky winger is very highly rated by manager Roberto Martinez.

"Doku has something special," he said of the teen in March.

Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp is also a fan, having already eyed Doku as a long term replacement for Sadio Mane, according to The Guardian.

Age: 27

Position: Winger/Striker

Club: AC Milan (Italy)

Ante Rebic missed 19 matches through either injury or suspension for AC Milan this term.

That didn't stop him scoring 11 goals and producing nine assists, however, in what was an impressive season for the Italian side. Milan finished second in Serie A for the first time since 2011/12.

The pacy 27-year-old ended the campaign in particularly devastating style, scoring a sublime 12 minute hat-trick in a 7-0 win over Torino in Milan's penultimate league match.

Rebic was a key part of Croatia's run to the final of the 2018 World Cup, so he knows how to handle big tournament pressure.

Position: Midfielder

Club: West Ham United (England)

When Tomas Soucek arrived at West Ham United from Slavia Prague in January 2020, the Hammers were sat 18th in the Premier League and on the brink of relegation.

After helping keep David Moyes' side up in 2020, this season, the powerhouse midfielder was his side's stand-out player, scoring 10 goals from midfield to help West Ham qualify for Europe for the first time in five years.

So impressive has the 26-year-old during the 2020/21 season, he was nominated for the prestigious Football Writers' Association Player of the Year award.

If Soucek can reproduce his club form for the national team, then the Czech Republic could be a force to be reckoned with.

Age: 25

Position: Centre back

Club: Olympique Lyonnais (France)

Despite Fulham being relegated from the Premier League this term, Andersen, who spent the season on-loan from Lyon, was one of the division's best centre backs.

Confident with the ball at his feet and an excellent reader of the game, the Dane's performances have already seen him linked with both Tottenham and Arsenal.

More stellar displays from the 25-year-old at Euro 2020 will only ramp up the interest in him.

Position: Midfielder

Club: Manchester City (England)

England has a plethora of talented attacking midfielders at its disposal, but Manchester City's Phil Foden is the pick of the bunch.

The 21-year-old is gifted with the ball at his feet, has wonderful vision, and plays with both schoolboy-esque freedom and tenacity.

On the pitch, Foden evokes memories of a young Paul Gascoigne (he's even got the haircut to match now), which is about as good as it gets in terms of comparisons.

He's so good that his club manager, Pep Guardiola, once described him as the most talented 19-year-old he's ever seen. High praise from a man who managed Lionel Messi.

Age: 31

Position: Striker

Club: Norwich City (England)

By far and away his country's most recognizable player, Teemu Pukki enjoyed a wonderful 2020/21 campaign with Norwich.

The 31-year-old scored 26 goals to help fire the Canaries back into the Premier League just a year after they were relegated.

Though Finland isn't likely to go far at Euro 2020, Pukki will no doubt cause plenty of trouble for opposition defenders.

Position: Winger/Striker

Club: Borussia Monchengladbach (Germany)

You've got to be some player to make it into the current France squad, which is littered with world class attacking talent.

Thuram, son of former World Cup winner Lilian, is just that.

A versatile and clever forward, the 23-year-old has produced an impressive 25 goals and 21 assists for Borussia Monchengladbach over the past two years.

His direct running and huge frame also make him an imposing figure for those handed the difficult task of marking him.

Position: Midfielder/Winger

Club: Bayern Munich (Germany)

Despite being only 18 years old, Jamal Musiala is already a regular fixture in one of Europe's top football teams.

The teen played 39 times for Bayern Munich this term, scoring an impressive seven goals, while he was also named the club's Player of the Month for April.

The former Chelsea youngster played for both England and Germany at youth level before deciding to represent his birth nation, Germany, permanently in February.

Age: 31

Position: Goalkeeper

Club: RB Leipzig (Germany)

With Hungary having been drawn in a group with France, Germany, and Portugal, it's likely to spend most of its time at Euro 2020 having its goal peppered by opponents.

Fortunately, Marco Rossi's side have one of the best in the business between the sticks.

Over the last three seasons, no goalkeeper has kept more clean sheets in the Bundesliga than Leipzig's Gulacsi with 41. Bayern Munich's Manuel Neuer, widely regarded as one of the greatest goalkeepers in history, has managed 34 in the same period.

Position: Winger

Club: Juventus (Italy)

25 years ago, Enrico Chiesa made his debut at the European Championships for Italy.

On Friday, Federico Chiesa will do the same when Roberto Mancini's side face Turkey in the opening match of Euro 2020.

The 23-year-old will be hoping he can fire Italy's current crop further than his father did in 1996, however, and well past the group stages.

Given Chiesa's impressive displays for Juventus this season, as well as the fact he is surrounded by a number of the continent's hottest young talents, it's likely that will happen.

Club: Ajax (Netherlands)

Another product of Ajax's fabled academy, Gravenberch was named the Eredivisie's "Talent of the Year" for 2020/21 as Erik ten Hag's won the league for a third straight season.

"That boy is a sight to behold if you are a football fan," the former Netherlands boss Adriaan de Mos recently said of the teenager.

"He's [like] an antelope, with coordination and feeling, that's incredible. I think he's going to be a revelation."

Position: Striker

Club: Genoa (Italy)

Goran Pandev is a living Macedonian legend.

At 37 years of age, not only is he actually older than the country he represents (Macedonia became an independent nation in 1991, before changing its name to North Macedonia in 2019) but he also boasts an extremely impressive résumé.

The veteran striker has laced his boots for Lazio, Napoli, Galatasaray, and Inter Milan. At Inter, he was part of a team which won the first treble in Italian football history under Jose Mourinho in the 2009/10 season.

For his country, Pandev has scored 37 times in 119 appearances, the 36th of which booked North Macedonia's place at Euro 2020 — its first ever major international tournament.

Age: 30

Position: Midfielder

Club: Leeds United (England)

Just three years ago, Mateusz Klich was warming the bench for Dutch side FC Utrecht having been sent out on-loan by Leeds United.

Fast forward to 2021, and the 30-year-old midfielder has just helped newly promoted Leeds United finish ninth in Premier League, and has earned himself the chance to represent Poland at Euro 2020.

A combative and versatile midfielder, Klich covers the defence aggressively and often dictates the tempo of games with his passing.

He also offers a serious goal threat, which is good news for Robert Lewandowski, who usually bares the weight of scoring Poland's goals on his own.

Position: Attacking midfielder/striker

Club: Atletico Madrid (Spain)

Since winning Euro 2016, Portugal has added some big names to its squad, including Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, Joao Cancelo, Ruben Dias, and Andre Silva.

The most exciting of the new additions is Joao Felix.

Highly skillful, great with both feet, and boasting elite vision, the 21-year-old has shown glimpses of his talent in his two seasons at Atletico Madrid since completing a $162 million from Benfica, but there is without doubt more to come.

Euro 2020 promises to be the stage for Felix to show the world exactly what he is capable of.

Club: Atalanta (Italy)

Atalanta is the most exciting attacking team in European football, and Miranchuk is a big reason why.

Gian Piero Gasperini's side scored 90 goals in 38 games in Serie A (the second highest domestic total in Europe behind only Bayern Munich), while it also scored another 21 in all other competitions.

Seven of those 111 goals were scored by Aleksei Miranchuk, whose influence on the team grew and grew as the season went on following his September transfer from Russian side Lokomotiv Moscow.

Club: Aston Villa (England)

John McGinn is Scotland's most influential player.

A box-to-box midfielder, the 26-year-old contributes all over the park, winning tackles, creating chances, running with the ball, and closing down the opposition.

He's also a potent goal threat. The midfielder has scored 10 times in just 32 games for Steve Clarke's side, including seven in Euro 2020 qualifying.

Position: Central defender

Club: Inter Milan (Italy)

Since joining Inter Milan from Sampdoria in 2017, Milan Škriniar has established himself as one of Italy's most accomplished defenders.

The 26-year-old has been a omnipresent figure in Inter's back three, which has conceded fewer goals than any other team in Italy over the last two seasons.

During the 2020/21 campaign, he helped the club concede just 35 goals in 38 games en route to its first Serie A title in over a decade.

Position: Midfielder

Club: FC Barcelona (Spain)

Not since the emergence of Andreas Iniesta has a young midfielder had such a big impact at Barcelona.

The Spanish playmaker is already a stalwart in Ronald Koeman's exciting new look side, becoming the second youngest player ever to reach 50 appearances for the club.

He's also developed a telepathic understanding with Lionel Messi, who, according to BBC, is said to be "enormously impressed" by the teenage sensation.

2020 offers Pedri the chance to showcase his talents on the international stage. On the evidence of his career so far, it's a chance he'll grab with both hands.

Position: Striker

Club: Real Sociedad (Spain)

Alexander Isak has the thankless task of filling the boots of Sweden legend Zlatan Ibrahimovic this summer.

Ibrahimovic, Sweden's highest ever scorer, was forced to withdraw from the competition in May with injury, just months after he'd made an astonishing international comeback following a five year hiatus.

Replacing Ibrahimovic will be a big task for Isak, especially given his tender age, but with 33 goals over the last two seasons for Real Sociedad, and Real Madrid circling, don't put it past him.

A man in high demand, a number of Europe's top clubs will be keeping an eye on Denis Zakaria at Euro 2020.

Among the teams interested in the 24-year-old is Manchester City. According to the Manchester Evening News, Zakaria is being scouted by Pep Guardiola as a long term replacement for club legend Fernandinho.

As a player, Borussia Monchengladbach teammate Yann Sommer describes him as a mix of "Michel Platini and Zinedine Zidane," while Germany great Lothar Matthaüs says he is like a young Toni Kroos.

Club: Leicester City (England)

Turkey finished second in its qualifying group, just two points behind 2018 World Cup winner France. It lost just one of its 10 games and conceded only three goals — fewer than any other team on the continent.

At the heart of the Turk's rock solid defence is Leicester City's Caglar Soyuncu.

Strong in the tackle, dominant in the air, and extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet, the 25-year-old is one of Europe's most revered defenders, and is on the radar of Barcelona, according to Mundo Deportivo.

Club: Atalanta (Germany)

Like Russia's Aleksei Miranchuk, Ruslan Malinovskyi is a key member of the Atalanta goal machine.

The Ukrainian midfielder was one of the Italian side's most important players this season, scoring 10 goals and producing 12 assists as Gian Piero Gasperini's men finished third in the table, ahead of fourth placed Juventus on goal difference.

Malinovskyi's ability to retain possession, create space, and thread passes will be crucial for Ukraine this summer.

Club: Bournemouth (England)

A target for Manchester United according to Eurosport, Wales' David Brooks is a tidy, clever, and creative midfielder.

The 23-year-old produced five goals and six assists for Bournemouth in the Championship this season as it almost gained promotion back to the Premier League.

He missed the season prior with injury, however during his breakthrough Premier League campaign in 2018/19, he managed an impressive seven goals and five assists.

Such creativity will be vital for Wales at Euro 2020 if it is to find its way out of a tough group that includes Italy, Switzerland, and Turkey.
