Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Davor Suker in 1996. Wayne Rooney in 2004. Andrei Arshavin in 2008. The whole Spain team in 2012.

As well as providing a month-long jamboree of top-class football second only to the World Cup, the European Championship also provides a platform for the cream of the continent to showcase their talents, to win new admirers, to win over prospective buyers, to earn that multi-million pound contract.

As supporters and countries are experiencing the highs and lows of the tournament in France over the next five weeks, coaches and managers will be weighing up players that may improve their squad ahead of the start of the new season in August.

We take a look at the players likely to catch the eye in France and who could be ready for a move, as well as some of the lesser lights that could catch the eye over the tournament.

Let us know your comments in the section below, as well as suggesting any players you think may shine and earn a move after the Euros.
