The youngster was recently signed by German club Borussia Dortmund for a reported fee of €12 million. Had Borussia not made the move prior to the Euros, Guerreiro’s value could have been well over €12 million after a stellar campaign.

The defender started all but two games for the Portuguese, due to injury and impressed on both halves of the pitch. In only five games, Guerreiro has recovered the ball on 38 occasions. In the attack, he has attempted 24 crosses with 5 successfully reaching a Portuguese player. 15 of his attacking passed were in key areas of the field and 13 of them were inside the D-box.

His pace and dangerous balls into the box have helped him provide 2 assists. He has made 10 solo attacking runs, 5 of them key to a Portugal chance and two of them right into the box. Thanks to his brilliant performances, Guerreiro has been one of the best finds of the UEFA Euro 2016.
