Tottenham players have had their say on which team will emerge victorious in the Euro 2024 final.

The only team at the tournament to enjoy a perfect run through the group stages in Germany, Spain enter the clash having already dumped out pre-tournament favourites France.

Meanwhile England join Luis de la Fuente's side in the showpiece after overcoming the Netherlands courtesy of a dramatic winner from substitute Ollie Watkins on Wednesday.

With the showdown fast approaching, pre-season is already well underway at clubs up and down the country in preparation for the return of the club football season.

As Spurs readied themselves for training players were asked to give their prediction on who will lift the trophy on Sunday night.

Captain Son Heung-min said that he hopes England can secure the win, and added a touching message to his friend and former team-mate Harry Kane.

'It's difficult,' Son said. 'Spain I think have had an amazing tournament. But I wish England to win, Harry [Kane] to win it. The best England player in history.'

James Maddison was the next player to be put on the spot for his opinion on the final.

The midfielder would have hoped to have been part of Gareth Southgate's team for the tournament but was ultimately axed as Southgate whittled his squad down to 26 last month.

Still Maddison insisted he was sure the Three Lions will claim the trophy for the first time: 'England of course. It's coming home!'

Timo Werner also backed England to win, and the German forward was joined in his prediction by the club's new arrivals Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall.

Not everyone was so confident, however.

Brennan Johnson represented the Three Lions at youth level before switching his international allegiance to Wales and sat firmly on the fence when asked who will win on Sunday, insisting only that the game will finish 2-1.

Meanwhile Spanish midfielder Bryan Gil unsurprisingly picked his country to prevail, and he was joined in his assessment by Emerson Royal.
