Nagelsmann's Euro Gaze: 6 Stuttgart Stars in the Spotlight
In his new role leading Germany to the Euros at home, Nagelsmann is keeping tabs on some top talent from VfB Stuttgart. The competition is fierce, especially in the goalkeeper department, but these six players are still hopeful.
Marveling Deniz Undav (27)
Deniz Undav's prolific form in the Bundesliga, boasting 9 goals and 2 assists in 11 games, has many looking his way. His exceptional goal-scoring average separates him from other German strikers, and he dreams of representing his country at the 2024 Euros. But Turkey, his father's homeland, also has designs on him.
Euro Chances: 70%
Star in the Making: Chris Führich (25)
Breaking through under Sebastian Hoeneß, Führich has shown his potential with Stuttgart, netting 3 goals and setting up 5 more. Despite his recent setback in the USA game, where he fell ill, he has a 50/50 chance of making the Euros team.
Recovered and Hungry: Josha Vagnoman (22)
After representing Germany against Belgium, Vagnoman suffered a setback at the U21 European Championships due to a midfoot fatigue fracture. Now fully recovered, Vagnoman is raring to reclaim his spot and represent his country at the Euros.
Rising Star: Angelo Stiller (22)
Stiller is impressing at VfB with his calm demeanor and creative play in midfield. His partnership with Atakan Karazor is driving Stuttgart's success.
Stefan Effenberg's Favorite: Anton Stach (24)
A versatile defender who won the 2017 U21 European Championship, Anton still dreams of playing in the 2024 Euros. German football legend Effenberg is a strong advocate for his inclusion.

Cultivating Fresh Talent: Jonathan Nagelsmann (22)
Although not mentioned in the sources, Stuttgart's up-and-coming goalkeeper Jonathan Nagelsmann, Julian's brother, may attract attention in the future.
As Nagelsmann evaluates his potential Euros squad, fitness, performance, and compatibility with his strategy will be key factors.
