With Euro 24 officially getting underway on June 14th when host nation Germany welcome Scotland to Munich, all of Europe’s elite will be looking to write their own piece of history this summer.
With many tipped the Three Lions’ current crop as a real golden generation, the likes of former world champions France also boast a string of attacking icons.

Breezing his way to Germany’s Golden Boot after notching 36 goals in his 32 appearances, Kane remarkably registered a Bundesliga strike every 79 minutes and broke a string of records during his domestic romp.
Crowned as the 2016 World Cup Golden Boot winner as the Three Lions secured a semi-final finish in Russia, Kane will undeniably have a leading role to play in England’s charge to get their hands on a first piece of international silverware in 58 years.
