We take a look at the players who have won the competition while playing in the top flight

 

The Premier League have 104 players heading to UEFA EURO 2024 this summer. 44 of them play for the top five tournament favourites - those being England, France, Germany, Spain and Portugal.

Indeed, only Slovenia, Georgia and Austria of the 24 competing nations don’t have Premier League representation, meaning there is a high chance a player from England's top flight will lift the trophy.

While contracted to a Premier League team, 19 players have won the Euros, with only Fernando Torres winning twice.

Jorginho is the only player at the upcoming tournament who can match the Spaniard's record, as he aims to win the trophy with Italy - the winners of the last edition of the Euros.

Here, we take a look at who the players were.

EURO Golden Boot winners

There hasn’t been a Golden Boot winner from a Premier League club since 2012. And only four in history. The league's back-to-back top scorer Erling Haaland missed out on qualification with Norway but Cole Palmer, who scored 22 goals and Phil Foden, who netted 19 have both made the England squad.
