5 Players Who Could Have Now Forced a Move After the Euros

English midfielder Kalvin Phillips put in a Man of the Match performance vs Croatia in England’s group opener and he has since been one of the nation's best performers at Euro 2020.

The midfielder adopted a slightly advanced role than most fans were used to seeing where the Leeds man provided an assist for Raheem Sterling, but combined with his defensive qualities, the man has been excellent so far, much against the attack of hundreds of English doubters.

The Leeds man anchored their midfield last season and has proven that he’s more than capable of performing at Premier League level andwith more top-class performances, he will continue to gain attention from top clubs both in and outside of England.

He seems comfortable at Leeds for now, and of course, he is from the area. Don't think this will stop him if a Champions League club comes calling, however.

Breel Embolo was touted as a hot prospect when he arrived on the scene at Basel as a teenager and many of Europe's top outfits actually wanted him. After three impressive seasons, the forward earned himself a move to the Bundesliga where he signed for FC Schalke, but it hasn't gone the way he planned since swapping Switzerland for Germany.

He has since moved to Borussia Mönchengladbach as his career has seemed to stagnate with more injuries and inconsistencies showing. However, Embolo still shows signs of quality as he has done so far in the Euros, where he’s been a threat going forward for his nation.

The Swiss star scored in their 1-1 draw with Wales and has made three dribbles per game as he looks to spearhead his team in the knockout rounds. If he continues to show this form and show that made him so highly rated only a few years ago, he may do enough for one of Europe’s bigger sides to take a gamble on him.

Ruslan Malinovskyi was involved in a goal every 94 minutes last season as Atalanta narrowly secured a Champions League place in Serie A last season with another sensational goalscoring display across 38 games.

The attacking midfielder has gone under the radar whilst in Italy and has quietly gone about his business by performing regularly for an exciting Atalanta side. The Ukrainian has continued his form into the Euros and has been a creative threat for his nation averaging 3.5 key passes per game so far in the competition.

Malinovskyi has already attracted interest from abroad and may look to make a move sooner rather than later as he is currently in his prime. It remains to be seen where, given how Atalanta are regulars in Italy's top four now, but for sure, he's earned his name amongst the transfer rumours.

Denzel Dumfries, currently playing at PSV Eindhoven, has been one of the players of the tournament whilst bombing down the right-hand side for the Netherlands at Euro 2020, much to the surprise of many. In fact, it's gone slightly under the radar that the Dutch are the top scorers in the tournament so far with eight, and Dumfries has scored two of them and assist two, also.

The marauding full-back is powerful and has shown himself to be comfortable on the ball so far during the competition. He has proved to be a constant threat the Frank De Boer’s system, scoring in both matches and winning a penalty so far in their first two group games.

Dumfries has presented himself as being a typical modern-day full-back, with his athleticism and technical ability and will definitely have raised the eyebrows of clubs across Europe and many clubs could want him on their books, with a right-back at 25 likely not costing more than £40m.

Sassuolo playmaker, Manuel Locatelli has been on the cusp of a move in recent years and after a stellar season in Seria A, and many fans would have been looking forward to seeing him perform at the Euros even before his Man of the Match performance against Switzerland.

The midfield maestro scored twice for Italy in their second group game that day, as he controlled the midfield alongside Chelsea man, Jorginho, and in each time he got the ball, something seemed to click for Italy. His talent is undoubted and he has the ability to fit into many of Europe’s top teams in the centre of midfield and it seems almost certain he will join Juventus for a fee in the region of £40m.
