Which Premier League players have won the Euros before?

Jorginho, Mata and Torres

On Sunday, 27 Premier League players from 12 different clubs will go for glory as Spain and England go head-to-head in the UEFA European Championship final in Berlin, Germany.

There are guaranteed to be at least three winners from the Premier League, as Spain have David Raya (Arsenal), Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) and Rodri (Man City) in their squad.

If England win, there will be a huge 24 winners contracted to a 2024/25 Premier League club.

How many PL winners in history?
Since the Premier League started in 1992/93 there have been seven European Championships and a total of 29 players have won the tournament while contracted to a Premier League team. Only one player - Fernando Torres - has lifted the trophy twice as a Premier League player.

Arsenal's Jorginho was the only player from the 103 Premier League representatives at this summer's tournament who could match Torres's record, but Italy were knocked out in the round of 16 by Switzerland.

None of the 27 Premier League players in Sunday's final have won it before.

Take a look below at the Premier League's past European champions.

EURO Golden Boot winners
There hasn't been a Golden Boot winner from a Premier League club at the Euros since 2012. And there have been only four in history.

Liverpool's Cody Gakpo is the joint-top scorer at Euro 2024, but his three goals are matched by five other players: Harry Kane (England); Georges Mikautadze (Georgia); Jamal Musiala (Germany); Dani Olmo (Spain); and Ivan Schranz (Slovakia).

Kane and Olmo could yet overtake Gakpo in Sunday's final, while there are nine players who have scored two goals, including Spain's Fabian Ruiz and England's Jude Bellingham.
