Now that the Euros are over, the focus will once again be on Harry Kane and his Tottenham Hotspur future.

Kane endured a slow start to his Euros campaign, but was one of England's best players in the latter stages of the tournament, netting four goals. The 27-year old made 35 Premier League starts last season, scoring 23 goals and providing 14 assists. Kane ended his season as the league's top goalscorer and highest assist provider.

#2 Erling Braut Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) | €130 million

Erling Braut Haaland is unlikely to stay at Borussia Dortmund for long and is expected to leave the club by next summer at the most.

Despite Borussia Dortmund's strong stance that Haaland will not leave the club this summer, several clubs have repeatedly displayed an interest in him. Chelsea are reportedly leading the line to sign one of the best young strikers in the world. Manchester United, Manchester City and Real Madrid are all tracking him as well.

Haaland joined Borussia Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg in January 2020, and has been pivotal for them. The 20-year old made 27 Bundesliga starts last season, scoring 27 goals and providing six assists.

#1 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain) | €160 million

Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe was not at his best at Euro 2020. His penalty miss in the Round of 16 shootout against Switzerland saw France get knocked out of the tournament.

Regardless of his tepid outings for the national team, there is no denying Mbappe's quality. The 22-year old is one of the best players in the world and has time and again shown his ability. Despite Paris Saint-Germain's failure to win the league last season, Mbappe was excellent. He made 27 Ligue 1 starts, scoring 27 goals and providing seven assists.

The Frenchman was heavily criticized for his displays at Euro 2020, but he has what it takes to bounce back. Mbappe has been linked with Real Madrid for some time now. Those rumors have now gathered more momentum after talks about a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain have stalled.
