Several England players have shown glimpses of brilliance in attack, but Cole believes the accolade should go to a defender.
"I would give the player of the tournament award to Marc Guehi, who has been outstanding," Cole told Gambling.com.
"He looks like a young Ledley King.
"When everybody said our defence would be a problem, he stepped in for Harry Maguire and he has gone to another level.
"We have a great player on our hands for the future there."
Emmanuel Petit, who helped France win Euro 2000, thinks Sunday's final will go the other way.
