5 lesser-known players who have impressed at Euro 2016

Ivan Perisic

The Inter Milan winger has played some of the biggest clubs in Europe. Perisic was a part of Jurgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund side who surprised many, but the Croatian star was never the star of the show in Germany and went on to join Inter in the Serie A.

Perisic, however, has taken matters in his own hand during the group stages of Euro 2016, and surprised many with his brilliant performances. Croatia finished at the top of their group, ahead of Spain, and if there was one man who was the star of the show, it was Ivan Perisic. The 27-year-old has two goals and an assist to his name, and has consistently produced good performances.

His pace and power have been very useful assets to the Croatian side and he has been their biggest threat on the counter-attack. It’s important he continues his form in the knock-out stages, so Croatia have enough firepower to surprise the others in the tournament.
