The Biggest Stars We Will See at the European Championship © JumpStory

n June, the long-awaited European Football Championship will start. According to football analysts and experts, the main favorites are considered to be the national teams of England, France, Belgium, and Germany, but we will not focus on them in this article. Let's talk about the players who will be the brightest stars of this championship and have real chances to become the top scorer.

Leading England forward Harry Kane<\p>

London's Tottenham Hotspur striker Harry Kane recently announced that he would like to change teams this summer. Such a desire of a center forward is understandable, as winning titles with the Tottenham club is really challenging these days. Despite the team's somewhat inconsistent performances, the striker had another amazing season. 27-year-old H. Kane is already the all-time top scorer of the England national team. After surpassing the legendary Wayne Rooney last year, the sniper probably has no intention of slowing down. After all, he once again became the top scorer in the English Premier League. Football experts believe in H. Kane's abilities, as he is probably rightfully considered the top favorite to score the most goals in the European Football Championship. In the qualifying rounds for this championship, H. Kane played eight matches and managed to score 12 goals. Achieving such productivity against stronger opponents may not be easy, but it is very likely that the striker will average at least one goal per game. Such a result may be enough to compete for the award of the top scorer of the championship.<\p>

Leading France forward Kylian Mbappe<\p>

Theoretically, we are still in the era of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, but the time of these players has almost run its course. For almost three years now, we have been saying that the new football icon in the world will be Kylian Mbappe. So far, this player has more than lived up to expectations. The 22-year-old forward scores goals in both the French championship and the UEFA Champions League. And when he triumphed with the French national team in the world championships almost three years ago, the player could already be called the brightest star of his team. And the fact that he may be very prolific is also evident in the betting for the European Football Championship. K. Mbappe is not a center forward, but he is the player who constantly finds himself in the frontline of the attack. For example, at the Paris Saint-Germain club, he practically outperformed another attacking master, Neymar, and this season alone he scored 27 goals in the French championship. It is difficult to say what specific tasks will be set for K. Mbappe in the upcoming European Football Championship, but the fact that he can become the top scorer is very real, as the French national team is likely to go at least to one of the final stages of the tournament.<\p>

Expectations are high for Romelu Lukaku<\p>

The Belgium national football team has its big three. It consists of two actively participating forwards Eden Hazard (Real Madrid) and Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City), and Inter Milan sniper Romelu Lukaku. To say which player out of them is the best would be really challenging, but at least the biggest offensive leader can be called R. Lukaku. Most football fans remember the latter from his days playing for Chelsea, but the player is far from being a veteran. A few weeks ago, he celebrated his 28th birthday and, as the athlete himself says, he is currently in the best form of his life. Wearing Inter's shirt for two seasons, R. Lukaku has performed very successfully - he scored 23 and 24 goals in the Italian championship respectively. During the world championship of just under three years ago, where the Belgians went as far as the semi-finals, R. Lukaku scored four times in six games. The striker himself was not very satisfied with this result, promising to make a strong comeback during the European Championships, and now it is time to fulfill his promises.<\p>
