Euro 2024 is just around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to get acquainted with some of the best young players heading to the competition.
As part of our 24 for 24 series, 90min have handpicked the 24 young players (aged 21 and under) we expect to cause a stir in Germany this summer – the likes of Jude Bellingham, Florian Wirtz and Jamal Musiala among the standout names.
So without further ado, here’s the starboys to sit up and take notice of over the next month.
Age: 21
Nation: Ukraine
