In a squad that has been bereft of world-class players, Sigurdsson stands alone and could soon be on the move to a rival Premier League club soon. The Welsh club would also make a handsome profit if they did sell him considering his contract runs out in 2020.

But when he stands over a free-kick, most goalkeepers sweat over what he could do next. Nothing underlines his ability more than his free-kick against Manchester United at Old Trafford.
