While Iceland impressed at Euro 2016, they are only likely to improve as a younger generation comes through, according to Gylfi Sigurdsson.

Gylfi Sigurdsson has predicted a bright future for Icelandic football, claiming the country's next generation could surpass the team that knocked England out of Euro 2016.

The Swansea midfielder starred in the side that stunned Europe in their first major tournament appearance, topping their group ahead of eventual champions Portugal and then beating Roy Hodgson's Three Lions in the round of 16.

However, Iceland's international dreams did not end in their quarter-final defeat to France, according to Sigurdsson, with more talent yet to emerge.
