England’s squad is full of players who are at their first major tournament. Ed Aarons looks at what they will bring to the party.
So, England. You can read all our preview pieces on our dedicated Euro 2024 site, but we’ll dot them here throughout the day as well. Let’s start with David Hytner on Harold Kane esq.
Kane made the point that the squad stood apart from previous vintages because of the form that many of the players were taking into the finals. Phil Foden, for example, is the player of the year in England; Jude Bellingham in Spain. Kane also backed himself to win the Golden Boot, which he secured at the 2018 World Cup. “There is no reason why I cannot be the top scorer,” he said. “If we do well, I expect myself to be up there. That confidence is still there.”
