Reading captain Ivar Ingimarsson is confident that fellow Icelander Gylfi Sigurdsson will be a success in the Premier League in the not too distant future.

The 20-year-old scored 20 goals for the Royals next season, before agreeing a new three-year contract at the Madejski Stadium.

Ingimarsson told the Evening Post: "I'm absolutely sure other clubs out there have made enquiries about Gylfi and would love to sign him.

"But I think Gylfi made the right choice. His first season for us went extremely well and I'm sure he just wants to build on that and be part of the success at Reading.

"He's a first-team regular now and he's growing up in a great environment here. He can continue to grow and hopefully he will be in the Premier League with Reading one day.

"If not, then he doesn't have to worry because I'm sure his chance will come at some stage in his career."
