Left Midfielder: Aaron Ramsey (Juventus)

The Juventus midfielder could play a pivotal role for Wales in left midfield at Euro 2020.

Aaron Ramsey is good on the ball and tends to make darting diagonal runs inside the centre, forcing the opposition to open up. The 30-year-old has been capped 64 times by Wales, which includes five games at Euro 2016.


Central Midfielder: Joe Allen (Stoke City)

Joe Allen's ability to play with composure and vision and contribute in offence has made Brandon Rodgers tout him as the 'Welsh Xavi.'

Allen is not overly physical but is highly technical on the ball, finding little spaces behind opposition defences with ease. The 31-year-old has been capped 60 times by Wales.


Right Midfielder: Harry Wilson (Liverpool)

Harry Wilson has provided a lot of assists during his loan stints at Bournemouth and Cardiff City.

Wilson has excellent positional awareness and walks into pockets of space between defenders. With creative, positional and scoring ability, Wilson might be the differential option for Rob Page in the Wales midfield at Euro 2020.

Wilson, who has earned 26 international caps with Wales, had a good season on loan at Cardiff City, scoring seven goals and 11 assists in 37 Championship games


Right Winger: Gareth Bale (Real Madrid)

Euro 2020 might be the final major international tournament for the Real Madrid winger, so Gareth Bale could look to make the most out of it.

Bale likes to drift into striking positions from his position in the wings to score goals. He also likes to take the play into central areas rather than the wide ones to narrow down the opposition.

Bale had a decent stop-gap season at Tottenham Hotspur and arrives fresh at Euro 2020. The 31-year-old has scored 33 goals and provided 18 assists in 93 appearances for Wales.


Striker: Kieffer Moore (Cardiff City)

Kieffer Moore is a typical target man with a massive physique and exemplary aerial prowess. His Cardiff City teammates often use long balls to find him in the deep.

Moore will be crucial in scoring offensive headers off set-pieces. He scored Wales' equaliser against Switzerland in their Euro 2020 opener off a header.


Left Winger: Daniel James (Manchester United)

Daniel James can play on both wings but has been used as a left winger in the few games he has earned at Manchester United.

James is known for his agility, explosiveness and speed, which would be crucial for Wales, as they will likely rely on wing-play at Euro 2020. He is among the fastest players in the Premier League and is more of a runner with the ball than a dribbler.
