Another season of the EURO Cup is here, offering young stars a chance to shine and show their football skills to the world. This tournament has been the stage where legends like Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, Harry Kane, and Zlatan Ibrahimovi? made their mark and the fans eagerly look forward to seeing new talents emerge and take centre stage. This year is no different, as supporters are excited to discover the next big names in football who will dazzle with their performances. The EURO Cup continues to be a platform where future stars rise, impressing audiences with their talent and determination. Here, we will be now looking at the top 5 young players who are going to make their debut in the EURO Cup 2024 and the fans will be having their eyes on these players.

1. Martin Baturina from Croatia

As Luka Modric gets older, Croatian football fans are excited about a young new talent named Martin Baturina. At just 21 years old, Baturina is already being called the next Luka Modric because of his amazing skills. On the field, Baturina plays with great calmness and intelligence for his age. He can read the game really well and pick out clever passes that split the defence. His passing is so perfectly weighted that his teammates don’t even need to break stride to control the ball. Despite being so young, Baturina is a real threat with his silky dribbling and technique.

He stays composed on the ball and can keep possession smartly when under pressure from opponents. In his breakthrough season, the talented youngster has scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist from midfield in 25 league games. His impressive stats have made people even more excited about his potential. As new Croatian stars emerge, many people think Baturina can be the next big midfield player for the national team after Modric. If he keeps improving rapidly, he could be the one running Croatia’s attack at Euro 2024 and beyond.

2. Brian Brobbey from the Netherlands

The Netherlands has a proud history of producing world-class footballers, and the next name on that list could be Brian Brobbey. This young Dutch striker is already making waves with his goalscoring exploits. At just 21 years old, Brobbey enjoyed a breakout season with the struggling Ajax team. Despite his side’s difficulties, the talented youngster found the net a remarkable 22 times across all competitions. Brobbey’s goals almost single-handedly dragged Ajax to a respectable fifth-place finish in the Dutch league. 

Without his scoring touch, their campaign could have been far worse. The excitement around Brobbey’s potential is easy to understand. He has already tasted success at the youth international level, winning back-to-back European Under-17 Championships in 2018 and 2019. While he only had one senior cap to his name before his national team call-up, Brobbey’s blistering form has seen him fast-tracked into the Dutch senior squad. The coaching staff clearly believes he can be a star for years to come.

3. Jamal Musiala from Germany

When it comes to producing talented young footballers, Germany always seems to have a constant supply. At the upcoming Euros, one player fans should keep a close eye on is the exciting Jamal Musiala. Despite being just 20 years old, Musiala has already represented Germany at multiple major tournaments. He made his first appearance at Euro 2020 as an 18-year-old, showing remarkable poise and maturity on the big stage. Born in Germany but raised in England, Musiala actually played for English youth teams up until the under-21 level. However, he opted to represent the country of his birth at the senior level.

On the pitch, Musiala brings a youthful energy and flair that makes him so exciting to watch. He glides across the field with skill and invention, capable of beating defenders with his dribbling ability or picking out a defence-splitting pass. More importantly, the young midfielder also possesses a blistering pace that allows him to run in behind defences and stretch opposition backlines. His speed and directness make him a constant threat in the final third.

4. Xavi Simons from the Netherlands

While the Dutch striker Brian Brobbey has been scoring lots of goals, another young talent from the Netherlands is also making a big impact. His name is Xavi Simons, and he is an exciting 20-year-old attacker. During his loan spell at the German club RB Leipzig from PSG, Simons has been causing major problems for defenders. With his dribbling skills and speed, he is extremely hard to stop once he gets going on the ball. In fact, he was the player who was fouled the most in the Bundesliga this season as opponents desperately tried to stop him. 

But Simons isn’t just a good dribbler as he also has excellent vision and creativity to set up his teammates for goals. He provided many assists this season, showing he can both score and create. Ever since Simons was a child, people have been very excited about his potential, partly because he has the same first name as the legendary Xavi. Now at Euro 2024, he has a huge chance to prove himself on the biggest stage.

5. Zeno Debast from Belgium

When it comes to the Belgian national team, they’ve been blessed with some exceptional talent over the years. Players like Eden Hazard, Kevin De Bruyne, and Romelu Lukaku have carried the team on their shoulders, delivering memorable performances on the biggest stages. However, as these stalwarts approach the twilight of their careers, it’s time for the next generation to step up and make their mark. Enter Zeno Debast, a young defender who has been turning heads with his composure and maturity beyond his years. 

At just 19 years old, Debast has already gained valuable experience at the 2022 World Cup, where he didn’t see any playing time but undoubtedly soaked up the atmosphere of a major tournament. His performances for Anderlecht last season were nothing short of outstanding, prompting a summer transfer tussle among some of Europe’s biggest clubs. Sporting CP eventually won the race for his signature, fending off interest from West Ham United, AC Milan, and Napoli. For the Belgian national team, Debast could prove to be a game-changer at the upcoming Euro 2024.
