Top 10 forwards to watch out for in UEFA Euro 2016

#4 Antoine Griezmann (France)

Antoine Griezmann has been absolutely stunning for Atletico Madrid this season. The Frenchman is one of the best players in the world currently and his goals almost fired Atletico Madrid to the Champions League and La Liga titles.

In the absence of star striker Karim Benzema, Antoine Griezmann will shoulder much of the goalscoring responsibilities for the host nation. With 32 goals in 54 appearances, the Atletico Madrid forward has set the world alight with his finishing and France will be hoping he continues his good form in the Euros.

For the host nation to win the title, they will need Griezmann to be at his best.
