The Swans at Euro 2016

The Premier League season is now well over, and the majority of Swans players are either on holiday or - more likely - looking for a new club, and us fans are bored. However, a couple of Swans stars will be heading off the France with their respective countries later this month for Euro 2016.

So let’s take a look at who we’ll be watching in the tournament come June:

Ashley Williams (Wales)

We begin with the captain of Swansea, who is also the captain of Wales! He had a couple of blips in the season just gone, but was generally solid when others were crumbling around him. Unless something dramatic happens, Williams will undoubtedly play every single minute of Wales’ Euro 2016 campaign - the country’s first major tournament for 58 years! He was rested for the Swans’ final two matches, so should be fresh and ready to go when Wales take on Slovakia on June 11.

Neil Taylor (Wales)

Left back Taylor is the second Welshman on this list and will also find his place in his country’s starting eleven pretty safe. He made nine appearances in Wales’ qualifying campaign, and has - at times at least - proved strong going forward, even if his crossing leaves a lot to be desired. His form for Swansea was pretty shaky all season, so he’ll have to step up a gear in this tournament, even if he is one of Chris Coleman’s first choices.

Lukasz Fabianski (Poland)

Swansea’s super keeper was on top form for much of the season and proved a key part when it came to damage limitation in those dark months. It’s likely that Fabianski will keep his place between the sticks ahead of former Arsenal team-mate Wojciech Szczesny. With a strong team featuring the likes of Robert Lewandowski, Grzegorz Krychowiak and Lukasz Piszczek, Poland are tipped to get to at least the quarter finals, so we should see plenty of Fabianski this summer.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (Iceland)

Sigurdsson was one of - if not the - star of Swansea City over the mixed season just gone. His 11 goals were vital and his general creativity was always uplifting. He finds himself in a pretty weak Iceland team, in Group F with Austria, Portugal and Hungary. However - despite being the minnows of the tournament - they thoroughly deserve to be there, finishing ahead of both Turkey and Netherlands in the qualifying group for a place in the tournament. Providing Sigurdsson is firing on all cylinders they will pose enough threat to make things interesting!
