Europe is too far north for hot deserts and too far south for frozen deserts. There is a frozen desert (a tundra) in Siberia.
The only desert in Europe is located in Spain. The Gobi desert is located in Asia (Mongolia), not in Europe.
Desert is an area which has less than 10 inches, 250mm, of rainfall annually. Virtually the whole of Europe excedes this. This is because the prevailing winds are from the west, over the Atlantic Ocean, bringing rain throughout the year. The European temperature range is temperate rather than extreme.
Actually there are deserts in Europe. There are desserts in Iceland, Spain, Poland, Ukraine and Romania. But unlike other desserts, European desserts' existence is not a result of inadequate rainfall, but soil conditions, like for example, very thick sand.
Wikipedia has the list. I hope someone can improve on it further.
Desertification needs certain conditions before it can occur. Europe's climate is too moist and is not warm enough.
Clarification
Europe has a number of smaller deserts and semi-desert. For a list see the link below.
