So, here is SunSport’s five to watch – although one of the names will be familiar…

NICK WOLTEMADE (Germany)

Stuttgart’s 6ft 6in striker is anything but a target man and arrives full of confidence after making his senior bow against Portugal last week.

The £34million-rated star’s 17 goals this season have alerted a host of Prem clubs, including Everton.

Woltemade, 23, could now earn himself a big-money move by firing the Germans to Euro glory.

CONRAD HARDER (Denmark)

Sporting Lisbon brought the hotshot, 20, to Portugal for  £16m last summer and now value him at nearly FOUR TIMES that amount.

ETHAN NWANERI (England)

Arsenal’s attacking sensation, 18, aims to announce himself on the international stage this month.
