Pau Torres is one of six Spanish players at the Tokyo Olympics who featured at Euro 2020, where La Furia Roja lost to eventual winners Italy in a penalty shootout.

A standout performer for Villareal last season, the 24-year-old helped his team beat Manchester United in the Europa League final. A few weeks later, Torres played all six games for Spain at Euro 2020, producing two assists.

A transfer target for both Real Madrid and Manchester United, Torres has played both games Spain have played at the Tokyo Olympics thus far.

Dani Olmo was a standout player for Spain at Euro 2020, with the attacking midfielder registering three assists during his team's run to the last four.

The 24-year-old, who plies his trade at RB Leipzig, has racked up 19 goal contributions (eight goals and 11 assists) in 44 Bundesliga games, with ten of these assists coming last season.

Considering his impressive exploits at Leipzig, La Liga giants Real Madrid and Barcelona are reportedly interested in the player. Interestingly, Olmo was allowed to leave Barcelona as a 16-year-old and join Dinamo Zagreb.

The 23-year-old, unsurprisingly, has played both games for Spain at the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.


#4 Franck Kessie - €50 million

Franck Kessie has been one of the most impressive players for Serie A giants AC Milan.

The 24-year-old has amassed almost 50 goal contributions (30 goals and 15 assists) in over 180 appearances for the Rossoneri in all competitions. Kessie scored 13 goals and assisted six in the Serie A last season to help Milan finish behind winners Internazionale. Interestingly, 11 of his goals came from the spot, a tally that was bettered by only five teams across Europe's top-five leagues.

One of the best young midfielders in the game, Kessie is being pursued by a plethora of top clubs across the continent, including Arsenal. The midfielder scored in Cote d'Ivoire's 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia in the ongoing Tokyo Olympics.
