Hugo Lloris is number three on the list of goalkeepers to watch out for at Euro 2020.

Lloris has been France's starting goalkeeper and captain for close to a decade. He has the highest caps of any French goalkeeper ever, and was integral to France's triumph at the 2018 FIFA World Cup.

Didier Deschamps has named Mike Maignan and Steve Mandanda in his squad as well, but Lloris is fully expected to start for France. With 124 national caps, the Spurs goalkeeper brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the French squad.

With Lloris recently celebrating his 34th birthday, it's fair to say that he's approaching the end of his career. Euro 2020 and the subsequent FIFA World Cup will be the best possible opportunity for Hugo Lloris to end his French career on a high.


#2. Gianluigi Donnarumma - Italy

Gianluigi Donnarumma fits the bracket of being best described as a prodigy. He debuted as Italy's youngest-ever goalkeeper, aged just 17 years and 189 days old. He already has 26 national caps within four years.

Donnarumma will be coming to Euro 2020 after a successful campaign with AC Milan. The Rossoneri finished second and securied Champions League football for the first time in eight years. He played for almost the entire season, making 37 appearances and keeping 14 clean sheets.

Once touted as the heir to Gianluigi Buffon, one could say that Donnarumma has yet to exceed expectations. Still only 22 and with his future at Milan looking uncertain, Euro 2020 would be the ideal platform for Donnarumma to establish himself as a world-class goalkeeper.


#1. Unai Simon - Spain

Unai Simon takes our pick for THE goalkeeper to watch out for at Euro 2020. With David de Gea seemingly out of favor at the Spain camp, Unai Simon looks set to start for Spain at Euro 2020.

Luis Enrique has started Simon in most friendlies with the young goalie performing well so far. However, his performances with Athletic Bilbao have been average at best, with Simon keeping nine clean sheets in 37 appearances all season.

Considering Simon lacks experience and has made just six appearances for La Furia Roja, all eyes will be on him at Euro 2020. Spain will look to challenge for their first European trophy in eight years.
