The deadball specialist could prove key in France.

The European Championships in France are coming up and whilst much of the attention will be on those players who ply their trade in some of the best leagues in the world, there will be plenty of players from the Championship involved as well.
So who makes our list of the top ten players at the Euros from England’s second tier?
The likes of Wolves Dave Edwards, Derby’s Jeff Hendrick and Burnley’s Tom Heaton have all missed out – so who comes in at number three?

Oliver Norwood – Reading and Northern Ireland
Want to see Kyle Lafferty score this summer? Want to hear Will Grigg’s on fire? Chances are that this Reading star might prove the key.

The midfield maestro has been one of the few shining lights at Reading this term in a difficult campaign and there is little wonder he is being linked with a move to the Premier League and Celtic.

Reading’s star man is the set-piece master with Northern Ireland and wit West Brom’s Chris Brunt out of the competition this responsibility is set to only get bigger.
One to watch, although Reading fans might hope he doesn’t impress too much.
