EURO's youngest scorers: Vonlanthen, Rooney, Renato Sanches, Stojković, Arda Güler

Switzerland's Johan Vonlanthen is the youngest scorer in EURO history. The forward was aged 18 years and 141 days when he equalised against France at UEFA EURO 2004, breaking a Wayne Rooney record that had stood for four days.

There are several other recognisable names among the top ten, chief among them Cristiano Ronaldo, whose longevity is underlined by the fact that he also features in the list of oldest EURO scorers.

The most recent entrant, meanwhile, is Türkiye's Arda Güler, who grabbed fifth place on the list after scoring against Georgia on Matchday 1 at EURO 2024. In the process, the 19-year-old became the youngest EURO debutant to find the net – beating Ronaldo's previous record.

At the head of the standings, Vonlanthen's longstanding mark could come under threat in Germany by a pair who were not born when he struck two decades ago: Spain forward Lamine Yamal and France's Warren Zaïre-Emery.
