Euro 2020 is finally here and it’s been hard to get through a weekend without any club action going on. Thankfully we have a major cup competition and not just some random, boring international friendlies.

As we hit the opening day of Euro 2020, we take a look at all the Premier League club players that will be present at the event and playing for their respective countries.

With the EPL reps, we will also have an honourable mentions list for those in teams in England’s lower tiers.

More from Premier League

To make it clear, if they played the 2020/2021 campaign for that specific English club, they will be named with that exact club.

This takes away loan deals expiring or players becoming free agents, as well as any transfers out of respective English leagues to other continents. We still haven’t started a new campaign.

Something we have changed, we have taken out the three relegated Premier League clubs and added the newly promoted EFL Championship sides to the EPL list.

Why? Cause they are the real winners and losers need to take a backseat – especially those who’ve gotten demoted from England’s top-flight.

Let’s take a look at who has the most players at the Euro 2020 tournament; who has the most English players and check out how well-presented Brentford is at the European championship.

Burnley’s representation is just sad. Really hope Sean Dyche is busy window shopping at the Euros and making a long list for his new owners to look at for possible summer transfers.

Expecting great things from the newly promoted Brentford next season. Brentford, the new North London club in the mix, has more players at Euro 2020 than Arsenal, Aston Villa, Brighton, Burnley, Crystal Palace, Everton, Newcastle, Norwich, Southampton and Watford.

That is 10 EPL old boys they outshining with their personal taking part at the highest level. This could mean they have a good eye for talent and we in for some great football next season.

Tottenham Hotspur –  – representatives at Euro 2020

  1. Hugo Lloris – France
  2. Moussa Sissoko – France
  3. Harry Kane – England
  4. Toby Alderweireld – Belgium
  5. Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – Denmark
  6. Gareth Bale – Wales
  7. Ben Davies – Wales
  8. Joe Rodon – Wales

Strangely, the top-six team that was one of the most underwhelming performers, only doing better than their neighbouring rivals Arsenal, has two captains of countries regarded as favourites – that will be Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris.

The former being with England who are not strong favourites but one country that is regarded as a powerhouse and are just known as choke artists. Then you have the latter, France, they are heavy favourites and are expected to go all the way, despite being in the group of death.

They have a third and final captain, Gareth Bale. The man from Wales, a team not respected as a tournament top pick. But how does a team with such talent and leadership still end outside of the top four in the Premier League standings? Mental stuff, I tell you!
