Euro 2024: Three Key Youngsters for England as Gareth Southgate looks to end the trophy drought

With Euro 2024 rapidly approaching, excitement is building among football fans as they speculate on which team will emerge victorious. Team England stands out among the contenders, and many wonder if this will finally be the year they bring the trophy home.

England, runners-up three years ago on home soil, have continued their impressive qualification record with another unbeaten campaign, conceding just four goals.

Gareth Southgate’s squad boasts exceptional quality, and many fans will see anything less than lifting the trophy in Germany as an underachievement. England are set to compete in Group C against Slovenia, Denmark, and Serbia.

To achieve their goals, England will need top performances from their key players. Here are three stars who could play crucial roles in Gareth Southgate's system-

Kobbie Mainoo

Kobbie Mainoo has made a name for himself in the Manchester United colours last season. As Southgate included him for the Euro 2024, the Red Devils youngster will be hoping to make an impact if he gets an opportunity.

Mainoo's chances may be limited, but he can be a threat for the Three Lions if he gets minutes under his belt.

Jude Bellingham

Jude Bellingham, arguably the second-best English player in Europe's top five leagues last season, enters Euro 2024 after a standout debut campaign in Spain with Real Madrid, where he won La Liga and the Champions League.

With 19 goals and six assists, Bellingham, at just 20 years old, is well on his way to superstardom. His ability to link the midfield and attack will be crucial for England's success.

Phil Foden

Phil Foden, the golden boy of English football, is one of the best-attacking talents in recent times. He helped Manchester City win the Premier League for the fourth consecutive year as well as was named Premier League Player of the Season.

Foden is expected to play as a wise attacker but he is equally adept as an attacking playmaker. England fans will hope he maintains his club form in Euro 2024 to help England achieve the highest goal.
