The Player of the Tournament award was officially recognised by organisers UEFA in 1996 and since then it’s been won by some of the sports greats such as Zidane, Xavi & Iniesta.

So, who are the contenders for this year’s prize? Kylian Mbappe, Kevin De Bruyne & Harry Kane are all match winning players for their respective nations & the trio currently vye for favouritism.
There could, however, be better value in a French midfielder.. Or two! N’GOLO KANTE & PAUL POGBA. |
N’Golo Kante has won just about all there is to win for club & country. The defensive midfielder is vital cog in Didier Deschamps side and while the 5ft6” Frenchmans tireless work can go unnoticed he deservedly scooped the Man of the Match honours in last month’s Champions League final.
He looks good value at 20/1 with Bet365 to catch the attention of the deciding UEFA panel once again this Summer.

At an even bigger price, Paul Pogba is 33/1 to be named Player of the Tournament. The mercurial midfielder was born to perform on the big stage and enjoyed a memorable tournament in the 2018 World Cup.
The 28-year old endured an injury-interrupted campaign but still managed 3 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League for Manchester United.
