The Swansea City midfielder is following in the footsteps of Iceland hero in making an impression in the English top flight, and he believes more compatriots can break through
Gylfi Sigurdsson hopes Iceland's showing at Euro 2016 prompts more Premier League clubs to look at signing his international team-mates.
Sigurdsson has followed hot on the heels of Eidur Gudjohnsen, who was something of a trail blazer for Icelandic football in England where he spent six years at Chelsea before playing for Barcelona, Monaco, Tottenham, Stoke City and Fulham.
Swansea City midfielder Sigurdsson himself has proven a cult hero at Liberty Stadium, where he is in his second stint having also played for Tottenham.
