Premier League stars will swap their club colours for those of their nations when they head to Germany to fight for the coveted Euro trophy and prove they are champions of the continent.
96 Premier League players have been chosen to represent their country on the international stage, with Manchester City topping the table for the most players from any club – with 14 talents selected.
But who will stand out among the rest? Here are 10 players who could make all the difference this summer.
Whether it be through patriotism or pure desire to rewrite history, Saka has the power to become a true force during this year’s European Championships – and will look to prove everyone wrong while doing so.
On the international stage, many will remember Saka’s missed penalty against Italy in the Euro 2020 final, however those in the Premier League know how far his talent stretches.
England are lucky to have so many strong attackers, and still Saka stands out among the group. His skill forms part of a truly exciting front line for the Three Lions, and if he’s given the opportunity, the young Arsenal star could carry his country to success.
William Saliba has often struggled to make as much of an impact for France as he does for Arsenal – with manager Didier Deschamps critical of his play.

There is a reason Saliba played every minute of Arsenal’s 2023/24 campaign – his skill demands a place in that team. And if you ask fans, he should command a place for France too.
His presence, physical play and game mentality make Rodri one of, if not the, best midfielders in Europe – so his attributes will not go to waste in the Spain squad.
Rodri’s skill commands the Spain squad and his leadership has often proved vital. The 27-year-old boasts 50 caps for his nation and will be expected to step up to the occasion once again in Germany.
A midfield pairing of Rodri and Barcelona star Pedri will strike fear into many teams, making Spain a squad to watch this summer
