Gylfi Sigurdsson

“I probably played too much on the left for my liking - I'm not that kind of player who is going to get the ball and run past the full-back. Of course if it happens, you've got to do a job for the team, and no problem. But I feel better - and think you get more out of me - playing me through the middle.”

“Personally 2016 has been a very good year.”

“As long as I'm playing, I'm very happy.”

“My dad has a few boats, but I'm not into fishing.”

“Joining the family business was always Plan B or Plan C.”

“I don't really mind where I play, as long as I'm playing. I'm just happy to be on the pitch - as long as it's not defensive.”

“Beckham and Frank Lampard were the ones that I particularly liked watching, and with Lampard scoring so many goals from midfield it was hard not to look up to him.”

“It's something we've all been waiting to see happen to Icelandic football - to actually go to the World Cup.”

“Genetically I think I'm more equipped for long distances than high-intensity sprints.”

“Tottenham have always played fantastic football. I remember watching them many years ago when I was younger, and they'd concede three but they'd score four.”

“I always played football as a kid and never really thought about anything else. I always wanted to do that.”

“My dad and my brother took me over to England a few times to train with various clubs. My brother basically ended up sending a CD to a few clubs of me playing football. That seems like a long time ago now, but it ended up signing for Reading.”

“It's a good feeling when you deliver under a lot of pressure.”

“Things just seem easier when you build up a bit of a points gap.”
