Breel Embolo (Switzerland)

This is a name you may see on a number of other lists, because the Swiss striker is one of the most highly thought of forwards in Europe right now.

Aged just 19, Embolo is another on a long list of products from the Basel academy. Although his burgeoning international career has yet to really take off, with just one goal in his nine appearances to date, he has scored more goals this season than any of the other Swiss attackers.

With new Arsenal signing Granit Xhaka, and Stoke City’s Xherdan Shaqiri behind him supplying him, the rapid front man could have his break out tournament and earn a move to one of Europe’s elite clubs.

Elseid Hysaj (Albania)

Hysaj is going into this tournament with a number of big clubs willing to fight it out for his signature. A strong first season with Napoli after joining from fellow Serie A side Empoli, Barcelona are reported to be heading the hunt for the Albanian.

Although Albania don’t have the best squad in the tournament, they will feel they have a chance of sneaking into the last 16 ahead of either Switzerland or Romania, mainly due to the strength of their defence, which Hysaj operates on the right hand side of.

Four clean sheets in qualification, including away to Portugal, 22-year-old Hysaj is one of the key figures of that back four. He’s shown his attacking prowess at Napoli, but now his defensive side will be called into question.
