da marjack bet： There is nothing like an impressive performance at a World Cup or a European Championship to truly introduce yourself to the football world and the ever-watchful eyes of scouts from some of Europe’s elite clubs.
da cassino： Granted, signing players off the back of an impressive four or five games can be a risk (Andrey Arshavin, anyone?). However, it can often bring to light some of the brightest talent from the far reaches of the continent.
There will undoubtedly be a host of scouts from Premier League teams watching the EUROs, looking for the next breakthrough star to showcase their talents, including representatives from Spurs. Mauricio Pochettino’s side will be looking to strengthen and capitalise on an impressive season in 2015/16, after all.
Here are the FIVE unknown players set to feature at EURO 2016, who Spurs should look to sign…
Rafa Silva – Portugal
“My client sees with very clear vision the possibility of the Premier League. We are working towards this objective.”
The words of Rafa Silva’s agent to the press over recent days have left many clubs in England eager to watch the Portuguese star perform in France this summer.
The 23-year-old attacking midfielder plies his trade for Braga but is considered one of the brightest stars in Portugal.
Silva would provide perfect cover for Spurs’ superb attacking midfielders, as his terrific pace and stamina will suit the Tottenham system excellently.
Breel Embolo – Switzerland
There is perhaps no young star more saught after at this summer’s European Championship than Switzerland striker Breel Embolo.
The 19-year-old would be an ideal target for Spurs who are in the market for competent back-up to Harry Kane, who spent almost the entire season leading the Spurs line, without a break.
The true test for Embolo may be the pressure he will undoubtedly face should his country underperform. Handle the responsibilty with ease and he could be in high demand this summer.
Ante Coric – Croatia
One of the most revered young talents that Croatia have produced for some time, many experts in Ante Coric’s home nation are comparing him to David Silva.
The 19-year-old, currently at hometown club Dinamo Zagreb has been noticed by scouts from Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, who all expressed an interest.
With just two international caps to his name, Coric may not grab much playing time for Croatia this summer. However, expect to see a host of big names make a move form the young star should he impress in his limited stints on the field.

Ondrej Duda – Slovakia
At just 21, Ondrej Duda is the youngest player in a Slovakia squad that includes plenty of veterans.
However, the young midfielder has impressed immensely during his 11 caps and is touted as a future replacement for Slovakia’s star man, Marek Hamsik.
The tall, graceful midfielder commands a similar role to that of Mousa Dembele and would provide astute cover in a talented Spurs midfield.

Alexsandr Golovin – Russia
The bright spark in a Russia team in the midst of a transitional period, Alexander Golovin has attracted interest from all over Europe.
His perofrmances at international level have been superb and the 20-year-old may well earn a starting place in the tournament, despite being the youngest player in the Russia squad.
A raw talent in need of some tactical improvements, Golovin could flourish under Pochettino at Spurs.
