Borussia Dortmund star has a point to prove with Germany this summer.
Marco Reus – Germany – Will face Ukraine, Poland, and Northern Ireland
HITC Sport writers have compiled a list of the top 50 players at Euro 2016, assessing players from across the 24 countries taking part at this summer’s tournament.
Coming in at number 10 is Borussia Dortmund’s Marco Reus, aiming to make his mark on a major tournament.

International record: 29 Caps, 9 Goals
2015/16: Borussia Dortmund star Marco Reus produced one of the best seasons of his career, scoring 23 goals in all competitions from 42 appearances.
12 of these came in the Bundesliga, with five goals in the Champions League and four in the Europa League, plus two in the German Cup.
He also provided eight assists, but it was not enough to help Dortmund topple Bayern Munich, finishing in second place 10 points behind Pep Guardiola’s dominant side.
Dream Liverpool signing: If there is one player Liverpool fans would like to see Jurgen Klopp sign from former club Borussia Dortmund, then Marco Reus is that man.
Just ask owner John Henry, who is frequently inundated on Twitter with messages like this one urging him to #signreus
He made an impact against the Reds in their Europa League ties, also netting against Tottenham as they knocked them out of the competition.
The desire to see Reus is with good reason, the 26-year-old is a dynamic winger capable of changing games, and is currently a player ex-Red Raheem Sterling – who does not make our top 50 – can only at present dream of emulating.
Dortmund are unlikely to want to sell though, last year signing Reus to a contract extension until 2019, when Klopp was still at the club.
What can we expect? Expect a lot from Marco Reus this summer, as he has more reason to shine than any player in the German team.
He missed World Cup 2014 through injury, and had to watch on agonisingly as his side lifted the trophy.
This is his chance to show what he can do, and in a not particularly tough group he has the perfect chance to make an impact right away. This could be Reus’ tournament.
