3: Gylfi Sigurdsson (Iceland)
Good news for Iceland fans is that Gylfi Sigurdsson has found form at the right time. After a disastrous first half of the season at Swansea, he was instrumental in the Welsh club’s survival as he contributed 11 goals and 3 assists in the space of 20 games.
As for Iceland, Sigurdsson has been their key player during the qualifying stages, as his three goals in two games against Netherlands justify his importance to the team. Sigurdsson has formed a formidable partnership with captain, Aron Gunnarsson as it allows him to bomb forward and create chances for this Iceland team on a regular basis. He is lethal from dead-ball situations in particular and opposing defenders will have to think twice before fouling Iceland players near their goal.
The presence of Sigurdsson, Gunnarsson, and striker Kolbein Sigthorsson makes Iceland a very dangerous team.
