Kieran Trippier, who currently plays for Atlético Madrid is another one who possibly stands a chance of representing England at the right-back position in Euro 2020. The former Tottenham Hotspur right-back is an excellent crosser of the ball and a skilled set-piece taker.

In World Cup 2018, Trippier showed his superb ability playing at the right-back position for the Three Lions at the tournament. He even went on to score England's first-ever goal in a World Cup semi-final since 1990.

Trippier isn't as creative as Trent Alexander-Arnold nor is he as physically imposing as Kyle Walker, but, he is someone who comes in between the two, but he could come in very handy for the Three Lions at the tournament.

Reece James is the latest Chelsea graduate to break through into the first team, and his crossing ability has already been likened to that of David Beckham's by Pat Nevin. The young Englishman is the latest addition to England's already impressive set of right-backs. Currently, he is having an impressive season with the Stamford Bridge outfit and is certainly a player to watch out for.

Although James is relatively young and inexperienced when compared to the aforementioned players, yet he could be the wildcard for England at Euro 2020 as he is impressive going forward and remarkably good defensively.

He is a player who is more than capable of making the right-back spot his own for many more upcoming years.


It remains to be seen as to who will be starting for England at Euro 2020, but one thing is for sure - Gareth Southgate has a very difficult job on his hands to pick the right player from an extremely talented set available to him.
