Today, 2 July, marks the start of Euro 2017, with Finland facing Iceland and Switzerland taking on Norway in the opening matches. Which players should you keep an eye on?
The 24-year-old player has just transferred from Wolfsburg to Angel City. She attracted attention during the last Champions League season, when she came on as a substitute in the second half and scored four goals against AS Roma.
The Finnish centre back enjoyed success with Swedish club Hammarby, with whom she celebrated the Swedish league title and cup. Her tackles were also noticed in England, when she transferred to London club West Ham during the winter transfer window. The 25-year-old player is a key member of the Finnish defence.
With 10 goals and 5 assists, the Norwegian striker became the third-best scorer in the English league. The Manchester United striker says that Erling Haaland is her great inspiration in football. At club level, she shows that she is just as effective a scorer as he is. Now she will certainly want to prove it in the Norwegian jersey as well.
At eighteen, she is one of the youngest players in Euro and also Manchester City's newest signing. Young Iman Beney has football in her blood – her father, aunt and brother are all footballers. At such a young age, she has already proven to be a great asset to Young Boys, scoring fourteen goals in 40 matches, which is very impressive for such a young player.
