Wales’ St Pauli defender James Lawrence admits he would love to meet Germany at Euro 2020. Lawrence has become a senior player at St Pauli since joining the Hamburg-based club in 2019, even captaining the Bundesliga 2 outfit at times this season, after previous spells in Holland, Belgium and Slovakia. He then had a two-year spell at Anderlecht in Belgium before joining St Pauli, and his experience of continental football could prove invaluable for Wales this summer. Lawrence said: “We’ve got a lot of good players in the same position. “Teams have known what to expect from us since then, but we’ve had good results and definitely risen to the challenge.”
