Gylfi Sigurdsson has backed Iceland's next generation to surpass the team that made an improbable run to the quarterfinal stage at Euro 2016 this summer.
The Swansea midfielder was a member the side that took France by storm -- which included a round of 16 defeat of England -- before bowing out to the hosts in the last eight.
And the 27-year-old is adamant the best is still yet to come for the Island nation.
"From when we are young in Iceland we are all taught the game by educated coaches who know what they are doing, not just parents like here [in Britain]," Sigurdsson told the Telegraph.
"Probably it will be the generation after this one where you will get the real benefit, because over the last few years, even since I was a kid, the facilities and coaching have improved a lot.
"The technical abilities of the younger generation are way better than ours were growing up."
Sigurdsson, who signed a new four-year deal with Swansea in August, added that he has no plans to leave the Wales club.
"You say you try not to pay too much attention [to the speculation], but of course you are aware of what is going on," Sigurdsson said.
"And your friends are asking you all the time: 'Are you going to sign for Everton?'
"But I'm really happy here. I'd been discussing a new contract with the club for quite a while. It got delayed because of the Americans coming in to take over.
"Once that was done, there was no reason why I would want to go."
