The UEFA Euro 2024 is one of the most highly-anticipated football showpieces showcasing some of the best talent and breakout stars across Europe. Here are FIVE players to watch in the latest instalment of the Euros.
Jamal Musiala (Germany)
The Bayern Munich attacker is one of the most promising young talents in world football. The 21-year-old has already carved a name for himself in the Bundesliga and the German national team.
Musiala made his debut for the Die Mannschaft in March 2021 against Iceland and was part of the squad that participated in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where he was a regular starter.
Musiala possesses exceptional pace, and deceptive dribbling alongside boundless creativity, while his ability to score crucial goals and break down any defence makes him a player to watch, for the hosts.

Pedri is another promising young talent set to feature at this year’s Euros and has been a revelation since breaking into the Barcelona senior team. With his maturity, intelligence, and ability to find spaces, the midfielder has become a key player for Spain.
The 21-year-old is earmarked as the next Xavi or Iniesta for the three-time UEFA European champions. His ability in midfield will prove vital in Spain’s quest for glory.

Kylian Mbappe (France)
Real Madrid’s latest Galactico signing Kylian Mbappe is arguably one of football’s best and most dynamic forwards.
Mbappe’s frightening pace, technical awareness, and clinical finishing will be some of the aspects that can inspire France to lift the Euros similar to his headline-grabbing exploits at the 2018 World Cup.
Mbappe’s performances for PSG and the French national team have cemented his status as a world-class player.

Jude Bellingham (England)
Jude Bellingham is another player to keep a close eye on in the 2024 Euros. The young English midfielder has rapidly risen through the ranks to become one of the most highly regarded talents in football.
With his versatile skills in midfield, he can play both as a central midfielder and more in an advanced attacking role plus he is a goal poacher.
Bellingham can easily dribble past opponents, makes incisive passes and contribute to defence. He is an all-rounder player which makes him the engine for the Three Lions.

Kevin De Bruyne (Belgium)
Kevin De Bruyne is another player who is a talisman for his side. It is no secret that De Bruyne is regarded as one of the best midfielders in the world.
The 32-year-old’s leadership and creativity in that midfield battle will be crucial for Belgium’s success.
His passing accuracy, vision, and ability to control the tempo of a game is what make him a key player to watch for Belgium.
