Euro 2025 Summary
The excitement of Euro 2025 has concluded, with England triumphing over Spain in a penalty shootout to secure their title and mark Sarina Wiegman’s remarkable achievement of consecutive European championships, remaining unbeaten in knockout stages throughout this tournament history.
Players emerging from international competitions often capture the attention of larger clubs, presenting them with a critical opportunity for moves as they showcase exceptional talent on this grand stage. Here, we highlight ten underrated players from Euro 2025 whose performances have earned them potential interest as the transfer window approaches its closure.
Standout Players from Euro 2025
Reuteler (Switzerland)
Switzerland made headlines by reaching the knockout stages of a major tournament for the very first time. Among the standout performers was Reuteler, who was recognized as Player of the Match in each of Switzerland’s group-stage matches. Initially taking on the role of forward, she demonstrated her adaptability by transitioning into midfield for the subsequent matches. This 26-year-old forward showcased her dynamism, spatial awareness, and ball skills, proving essential in all aspects of play. She was particularly impactful defensively, recording 13 interceptions and making 32 recoveries, ranking her among the top players in the tournament. Her record in the domestic league was equally impressive, with 16 goal contributions for Frankfurt. A potential move to clubs like VfL Wolfsburg or Paris Saint-Germain could escalate her career, while Barcelona could also benefit from her depth.
Gaupset (Norway)
Gaupset was a highlight for Norway amid a disappointing campaign, often looking like their spark when on the field. Her standout performance arrived in the group-stage finale against Iceland, where she directly contributed to all four of Norway’s goals, finishing with two goals and two assists overall. At only 20 years old, she ranked high for progressive plays, showcasing excellent ball control, acceleration, and the physicality to outmaneuver defenders. Gaupset’s ability to break through defenses with her passes places her in contention for a potential move to clubs like Paris Saint-Germain, especially in light of their recent departures.
Padilla-Bidas (Poland)
Poland made a notable impact in their inaugural major international tournament, largely thanks to Padilla-Bidas, who was instrumental in her team’s scoring efforts with one goal and two assists. Growing up in Spain and primarily positioned as a right winger, she excels at stretching defenses and delivering dangerous crosses. Despite playing for a Polish side that faced challenges in creating opportunities, she distinguished herself with the highest non-penalty expected goals among players who did not advance past the group stage. After a productive loan spell at Sevilla, she may catch the eyes of clubs like Bayern as a valuable attacking option.
Zigiotti Olme (Sweden)
In Sweden’s otherwise lackluster tournament, Zigiotti Olme emerged as a beacon in midfield. With her dynamic approach, she brought vital defensive resolve to a team rich in attacking talent, completing multiple successful tackles and interceptions. Her performance, including eight blocks and significant contributions to winning challenges, showcased her value as a defensive midfielder. Teams like Manchester United could significantly benefit from her ball-winning prowess.
Holmberg (Sweden)
Holmberg, the youngest player for Sweden in this tournament, demonstrated promise by actively contributing as a full-back. She played a key role in Sweden’s matches, creating scoring opportunities, including a goal against Germany, despite a missed penalty that would haunt her. Her ability to assist attacks from wide areas emphasizes her potential, leading to rumors of interest from top clubs wanting to acquire a young, dynamic right-back.
Senß (Germany)
Germany’s journey to the semifinals was characterized by resilience, and Senß was a critical element of their midfield. Her relentless work rate on both ends of the field helped fortify their defense while contributing to forward play. As she led the tournament in tackles plus interceptions, her ability to maintain team dynamics would make her a valuable asset for elite clubs looking to reinforce their midfield depth.
Siren (Finland)
Finland’s near miss at making the knockout rounds was marked by the consistent pairing of Siren and Eveliina Summanen in midfield. Siren distinguished herself with exceptional passing accuracy and strong defensive skills, topping charts for tackles and ball recoveries, a profile that would thrive in a possession-oriented style at clubs like Paris FC.
Oliviero (Italy)
Italy came very close to the final with impactful performances from Oliviero, whose speed and tactical ability shone at right wing-back. She boasted impressive statistics for tackles and crosses, making her an appealing option as a versatile player for a club like Inter Milan in light of their upcoming Champions League commitments.
Kosola (Finland)
Finally, Kosola garnered attention by scoring Finland’s opening goal in Euro 2025, along with her impressive dribbling skills and proficiency with both feet. Her standout tournament performance could facilitate her transfer to clubs needing dynamic wingers, including a possible move to Paris FC to fill the gap left by a key player.
Wamser (Germany)
Wamser’s ability to adapt to right-back due to injuries showcased her attacking capabilities, contributing significantly in both creating chances and recovering defensively—a dual threat that could attract interest from clubs seeking a forward-thinking full-back. However, her immediate future may remain at Frankfurt to further hone her skills.
