Burnley unity similar to Iceland team says new recruit Gudmundsson

Burnley's new recruit Johann Berg Gudmundsson has likened the team spirit of Sean Dyche's squad with that of the Iceland national team.

The 25-year-old, who was one of the stars of the Iceland's Euro2016 campaign, has signed for the Clarets from Charlton Athletic on a three-year deal for an initial fee of £2.5million.

He said: "The team spirit in the Iceland team seems to be similar to here, where everybody is working for each other and it's a tight group.

"That's what football is about. It's a team sport and everyone works hard for one another here.

"I've played in big games in the Europa League and with Iceland so that's definitely going to help me when I play for the first time in the Premier League.

"Experience is everything and I have quite a bit of that, so I'll be fine I think."
