Christian Eriksen is usually Denmark's chief goalscorer. But with the star ruled out of Euro 2020 following a tragic cardiac arrest in the opening game, there was a void that needed to be filled.

In came Kasper Dolberg, a 23-year-old Nice striker who struck thrice for Denmark in the knockout stage to make the world take notice.

His lethal finishing skills and confidence on the ball have caught the eye of a few top European clubs.


Striker: Ferran Torres (Spain)

Spain's rising star, Ferran Torres, made his mark at Euro 2020.

Ferran Torres was a revelation down the wings at Euro 2020. But it was too difficult to drop him altogether. Hence, we've put him in a striker's role (also because of lack of good choices in this position).

The 21-year-old's pace, creativity and technique - everything was top-notch. He also scored twice for his team (in back-to-back games against Slovakia and Croatia) while also bagging an assist.

Torres was a real menace down the flanks, running at incredible speed with the ball at his feet and capable of going inside or outside his man. He averaged almost one key pass per game.
