Gylfi Sigurdsson against Austria at UEFA Euro 2016

Sigurdsson plays as an attacking midfielder for Iceland and Premier League side, Everton. He has made 57 appearances for his national side scoring 19 goals. He played at the Euro 2016 which was his side's first appearance at a major tournament.

The 28-year-old showcased his clinical ability to find the net at the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying campaign as he scored 6 goals for his side and became the top goalscorer for his side in the qualifiers. He once again stepped up for his side at the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign as he scored 4 goals in 10 matches and ensured direct qualification of his country into the World Cup.

Playing in the midfield Sigurdsson initiates attacks and creates goal-scoring opportunities for his teammates. His link-up play with striker Alfreð Finnbogason will test the opposition defenders.

At this World Cup, Sigurdsson will try to continue his good run of form and ensure a historical maiden World Cup campaign for his country.
