As we approach the end of the second gameweek, Euro 2020 already seems to have the makings of a brilliant tournament.
Germany are perched in the 'Group of Death' this time out, along with the likes of France and Portugal. With both other teams recording wins in the first gameweek, the pressure is well and truly on the Germans.
Blessed with a blossoming young squad, Germany are certainly among the favorites to lift the trophy at Euro 2020. Let's take a look at the five most valuable German players at Euro 2020.
#5 Timo Werner | £58.50 million
Timo Werner takes fifth spot on the list of most valuable players for Germany.
The German speedster made his name with RB Leipzig, before being signed by English heavyweights Chelsea for a reported £47.5 million. The attacker comes into Euro 2020 off the back of a fantastic season at club level, winning the UEFA Champions League and finishing 4th in the Premier League.
The 25-year old has amassed 12 goals and 15 assists in all competitions this season, often drawing a lot of flak for his finishing ability. Blessed with electric pace, Werner is more than capable of being a nuisance to defenders with his runs between the lines.
Currently valued at £58.5 million, Germany will expect Werner to carry his club level success to Euro 2020.
#4 Kai Havertz | £63 million
Kai Havertz is a player that has divided opinion among fans worldwide. Havertz has enjoyed a mixed season at club level in the build-up to Euro 2020.
Initially from Bayer Leverkusen in Germany, Havertz was signed by Chelsea for a reported £62 million before the start of the 2020-21 season. His season with the Blues can only be described as a mixed bag.
Although the German was subpar in the first half of the season, he improved drastically after the appointment of compatriot Thomas Tuchel. He added a few crucial goals for the club, most importantly the winner in the UEFA Champions League final against Manchester City.
Still only 22, Havertz has already demonstrated the raw talent he possesses. With a little fine tuning, there is no doubt he can be one of the best players in the world. Germany will look to him to perform and strengthen their chances at Euro 2020.
#3 Serge Gnabry | £63 million
Serge Gnabry is a key player for his club, Bayern Munich. A regular starter for the European heavyweights, Gnabry is currently valued at £63 million.
Originally from Arsenal, Gnabry was signed by Bayern Munich after an impressive season with Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga. The youngster cost a reported £6.8 million and his move has since paid great dividends.
Armed with explosive pace and an eye for goal, Gnabry's numbers at Bayern have been phenomenal. Having played three full seasons with the Bavarians, Gnabry has already bagged 32 goals in 88 appearances.
Usually lining up on the left side of the attack, Gnabry will be a key figure for Die Mannschaft at Euro 2020. His performances could help define how far Germany will go in the tournament.
#2 Leon Goretzka | £63 million
Leon Goretzka has risen to fame with Bayern Munich over the past three seasons.
Signed from Schalke in 2018, Goretzka seems to have undergone a complete transformation with the Bavarians. Initially seen as an understudy in midfield, Goretzka has now cemented his place in the starting lineup with his consistent performances.
In three seasons with the club, the 26-year old has already won three Bundesliga titles and the UEFA Champions League. An excellent passer, Goretzka is also a powerhouse in midfield. Capable of excellent long shots, he is also extremely versatile and transitions seamlessly into any midfield role.
Goretzka is yet to feature at Euro 2020, having missed the opener against France due to fitness concerns. He is expected to be fit for the upcoming fixture against Portugal, a game that will be crucial in determining Germany's chances at Euro 2020.
#1 Joshua Kimmich | £81 million
Joshua Kimmich is one of the world's best midfielders.
Signed by Bayern in 2015, Kimmich has gone on to become one of the side's most important members. An extremely intelligent player, Kimmich is renowned worldwide for his flawless ability to play any position with ease.
He has been used in defensive and attacking roles at the club and has been outstanding at both. One of Bayern's midfield generals, Kimmich usually lines up on the right side.
His ball-winning ability has been regarded as world class, often the key to transitioning from defense to attack. Still only 26, Kimmich has already earned 56 national caps with Die Mannschaft.
Kimmich was part of Germany's opening loss to France and will be hoping to turn their fortunes around in the remaining two group games. Currently valued at £81 million, there is no doubt that Kimmich will be an integral part of the German side at Euro 2020.
