Back Saka at 25/1 for Euro 2024 player of the tournament
Our betting expert has analysed the Euro 2024 player of the tournament betting and picked out Bukayo Saka as the man to back

The winner of the Euro 2024 player of the tournament will undoubtedly come from either England or Spain and Bukayo Saka offers extraordinary value in the market at 25/1.
Every winner of the player of the tournament award since its introduction in 1996 has been part of the side who have lifted the trophy and, while England are the underdogs in Sunday’s final, they have proved they know how to win.
And if they pull of an upset in Berlin on Sunday, Saka could be the one to collect the award even though he is currently behind seven other players in the betting, including Spain trio Lamine Yamal (7/4), Rodri (4/1) and Dani Olmo (5/1) who lead the market.

Saka can make late charge
Saka has often been England’s biggest threat and he began the tournament with a bang by providing the cross that Jude Bellingham headed home in the 1-0 victory over Serbia in England’s opener.
That may not have gone down as an assist for the England man because of a deflection, but he then netted his first goal of the tournament against Switzerland in the quarter-finals, levelling the scores at 1-1 before Gareth Southgate’s won on penalties, with Saka scoring in the shoot-out.
While that equaliser in normal time remains his only goal contribution in Germany, his impact should not be understated and a match-winning performance in the final could yet earn him this prize.
Here all of England’s odds at Euro 2024
Winger at home on big stage
Saka’s goal in the quarter-final proved that he can step up in the big moments and they don’t come any bigger than Sunday’s final.
He also had a goal ruled out for offside in the semi-final win over Netherlands, Kyle Walker having strayed beyond the last line of defence before pulling the ball back for Saka’s smart finish.
Another one of those moments may come in the final and, if we allow ourselves to dream, Saka could be the player to win the match for England.

Yamal could make history
Lamine Yamal, who turns 17 the day before the final, is the favourite to be crowned the player of the tournament. If he does so, he will become the youngest player to have collected the award.
The winger has announced himself on the world stage with aplomb at the finals, with a vital assist against Germany in the quarter-final and a sensational goal against France in the semi-final. There could be another big contribution from the teenager against England on Sunday.
His team-mate Rodri is next in the betting at 4/1, with Dani Olmo at 5/1 and Fabian Ruiz at 6/1, but the bookmakers certainly think that Yamal can claim this award to add to the young player prize for which he already appears a certainty.
