TOP 3 Premier League players that could end up being the best goalscorer of Euro 2021
The Euro 2021 just weeks away, the anticipation is at its peak. Granted, there isn’t a great deal of Arsenal interest in terms of who might be the tournament’s top scorer, but go with us today. A number of countries have announced their squad players and the competition is already looking fierce on paper. The attacking threats of most countries are really impressive. EPL Index is considering the following EPL players to top the goal-scoring chart at Euro 2021.
Harry Kane
Tottenham Hotspur’s (I know) point man is the best striker England has at the moment. He has been able to improve his game from being a point man to an all-around team player who allows the wingers to flourish. His partnership with Son has carved a status as one of the best the EPL has ever seen. Kane will be heading to the Euros as the EPL top scorer.
It is not surprising that Kane is touted as one of the EPL players to top the goal-scoring charts. He is a proven goalscorer at the highest level of football. The site www.apostarenlinea.cl predicts Kane to start all the games for the Three Lions.
As long as England can get to the finals of the Euro 2021, Kane will definitely top the scoring charts at the competition. England also has wingers and attacking midfielders in top form to take away the attention from Kane. Considering that he combines well with wingers, it’s up to Gareth Southgate to ensure that Kane shines at the Euro 2021.
Olivier Giroud
The former Gunner man has taken his chances at Chelsea whenever he has gotten them. Despite being a fringe player for the majority of his time at Stamford Bridge, Giroud has always delivered when called on. His personal four-goal haul against Sevilla will be counted as a major part of Chelsea’s journey to the Champions League Final.
It’s obvious Didier Deschamps recognizes Giroud’s ability to deliver and called him to the French National Team for the Euro 2021. Although the France squad also includes the likes of Karim Benzema, Giroud plays better against teams that have strong defenders and like to sit deep.
Deschamps did not select Giroud to sit on the bench. Giroud also does well to take his chances. If Giroud plays regularly for the French team, there is no doubt he’ll be among the goalscoring charts by the end of the tournament. He has also talented midfielders that will supply him with the chances.
Diogo Jota
It will be dangerous to write off Jota. Despite a mid-season move from Wolves, he had done quite well at Liverpool. He went from plugging gaps in the attack to challenging for places with sure starters like Firmino and Mane. This season, Jota has scored 9 goals and none of them have been penalties. Jota’s goal record is only bettered by Salah’s for Liverpool this season (22). However, six of those 22 goals have been from penalties.
Of all the players called up to the Portuguese squad, only Andre Silva is most likely to start ahead of Jota. The Frankfurt man is in fine form and is among the top scorers in the Bundesliga. However, he does not fit into Cristiano Ronaldo’s style of play as he is an out-out striker.
Unlike Andre Silva, Jota can also play on the flanks. Even on the flanks, Jota does score goals. This increases his chances of getting into the lineup and scoring loads of goals.
