Marc Guehi has detailed what he is planning to do with his winner's medal if England beat Spain in Sunday's Euro 2024 final.

One of the biggest talking points ahead of Euro 2024 was England's options in the centre-back position.

After Harry Maguire missed out on their final 26-man squad due to injury, Lewis Dunk was tipped by some as a natural replacement for their Group C opener against Serbia.

Instead, Gareth Southgate put his faith in Marc Guehi and has never looked back. In fact, the Crystal Palace defender has been one of England's standout performers this summer.

"He's a young defender that we've had enormous belief in," Southgate said after their 2-1 victory over Slovakia. "He's justified that with his performances in this tournament."

Guehi missed the quarter-final clash against Switzerland but returned for England's dramatic 2-1 victory over the Netherlands, when a late Ollie Watkins winner booked their place in the final.

Now, the 24-year-old defender is expected to start against Spain in a back-three alongside Manchester City pair Kyle Walker and John Stones.

Speaking ahead of Sunday's game in Berlin, Guehi says he is planning to give away his winner's medal if they are victorious.

When asked about the medal, he said: “I'll give it to mum and dad, they'll take care of it. It's more the memories.‌ The physical stuff, they're going to go but it's more the memories you can pass and share. That's the most important thing to be honest.”

Guehi previously gave his parents the gold medal he received for beating Spain at the under-17 World Cup.

“We were playing against a really good team in Spain," he recalled about that World Cup win in 2017. "They have players who played then who are still playing now which is amazing for them.

“It was an amazing memory for all those involved: myself, Phil, Conor. Fantastic for us to be involved in that and this game now. I don't know where those medals are either. Mum and dad have them but I haven't got them. I've no idea where they are.”
