The Icelandic star caught the eye for several reasons in France.
Aston Villa have made another signing as Steve Bruce looks to improve his side and make a push for the play-off places.
The club have signed the Icelandic talent Birkir Bjarnason from Swiss giants FC Basel.
The midfielder was one of the stars for the Icelandic national team at Euro 2016 and Villa fans will be hoping he can be just as influential in their midfield set-up.

He undoubtedly caught the eye during his time in France this summer, not only for his footballing ability.
The 28-year-old was offered a modelling job after the tournament by online clothes retailer ASOS.
He was tweeted by the retailer to potentially model for the company after the Euros, with the midfielder open to the tongue in cheek idea:
The Viking looks of Bjarnason was one of the defining images of Iceland’s brilliant Euro displays. With his long blonde hair and jagged cheekbones, it is no wonder that ASOS felt he could do a job on the catwalk.
With fellow pretty boy Henri Lansbury now at the club as well, Aston Villa might just have the best-looking midfield in the Championship.
If the football can match the model looks, then Villa fans will be more than happy.
