Arkadiusz Milik

One of the potent strikers of Poland, the 22-year old Arkadiusz Milik has made a name for himself at Ajax after scoring 47 goals for them in all competitions since joining them in the 2014-15 season.

He was in prolific form in the qualifiers scoring four goals and helping his country qualify for the main tournament. Polish fans would be hoping that he continues to put in good performances in the tournament if they are to go all the way in the competition.

Rafael Silva

The 23-year old Portugese winger Rafael Silva is one of the rising stars in the team that has the ‘charismatic’ Cristiano Ronaldo.
