Euro 2020: Ranking the 5 best players from the quarter-finals

#3 Joakim Maehle (Denmark)

Joakim Maehle has been sensational at Euro 2020, so it would not be surprising to see the wing-back receive the Player of the Tournament award.

Denmark endured a difficult start to their Euro 2020 campaign, but have bounced back in impressive fashion and will now play England in the semi-final. Much of their success so far has been down to the form of Maehle, the Atalanta star, who has played as the left wing-back for Denmark at Euro 2020.

The 24-year-old was full of energy against the Czech Republic in the quarter-final, and produced what surely has to be the assist of the tournament for Kasper Dolberg. Atalanta players are enjoying a good Euro 2020, with Maehle leading the pack.

#2 Luke Shaw (England)

Luke Shaw is arguably the best left-back in the world right now. It would probably have been a controversial statement to make six months ago, but not so now.

Shaw arrived at Euro 2020 on the back of a very good season with Manchester United, and he has carried that form onto the international stage. He was one of England's best players against Ukraine, providing two assists in the 4-0 win.

The 25-year-old has not always had things this easy, but he finally seems to be realising his undoubted potential. Highly rated as a youngster during his days with Southampton, Shaw is a key asset now for both club and country.

#1 Harry Kane (England)

There were calls to drop Harry Kane from the England first XI after poor performances in the group stage of Euro 2020.

Kane has bounced back in emphatic fashion, though. After scoring a goal in the Round of 16 against Germany, he netted a brace against Ukraine in the quarter-final in Rome. The 27-year old is now in the race for the top goalscorer award at Euro 2020, something that looked unlikely during the group stage.

The Tottenham Hotspur star's future is up in the air, though. Kane wants to leave Spurs, as per rumours in this regard. But his displays for England at Euro 2020 could see his transfer price soar. Manchester City reportedly have had a bid for Harry Kane rejected by Tottenham Hotspur.
