Top 10 forwards to watch out for in UEFA Euro 2016

#3 Thomas Muller (Germany)

A player who always steps up in the big tournaments, Thomas Muller will be one of the key players in Germany's young squad. The Bayern Munich player has an excellent record in major competitions and he is one of the few stars who is fit and in form for Die Mannschaft.

Muller has a natural eye for goal and his supreme finishing skills will be crucial for the Germans. They are a bit light in the striker department with Mario Gomez, Lukas Podolski and Thomas Muller himself being the only registered forwards by German coach Joachim Low.

Muller himself describes his role as Raumdeuter, a term that translates to "interpreter of space" . During 2014 World Cup, Germany manager Joachim Low stated that Muller "is a very unorthodox player and you can't really predict his lines of running, but he has one aim and that is 'how can I score a goal?" The German will definitely be one of the strikers to watch out for in Euro 2016.
