Euro 2016: Top 10 U21 players featuring in the tournament

Kimmich is able to play in defence and in midfield 

#3 Hector Bellerin

Bellerin was named in the PFA team of the year last season

Age: 21

Country: Spain

Club: Arsenal

It takes a lot of skill and courage for a young player to come into the first team of a club like Arsenal and quickly cement his place as the first choice right back by benching a player like Mathieu Debuchy. This alone speaks a lot about the quality of Hector Bellerin.

The Spaniard has become one of the most talked about players in Europe thanks to his immense pace. He is a very good player in attack and in defence and was named in the PFA Team of the season for 2015/16. He ended last season with 1 goal and 8 assists to his name.

Bellerin was not part of Spain’s initial roster for the Euro but was drafted in following Dani Carvajal’s injury. Make no mistake; the 21-year-old is capable of starting for Spain ahead of Juanfran if the need arises.

He made his debut for Spain as a starter in a friendly against Bosnia and Herzegovina which ended in a 3-1 win for the defending European champions.
