Gunnarsson link for Clarets

Last updated : 04 July 2010 By Tony Scholes

The 20-year-old joined Coventry from Dutch club AZ Alkmaar, the same club from whom we signed fellow Icelandic midfielder Joey Gudjonsson.

Gunnarsson's move came in July 2008 and in his two years at the Ricoh Arena has played 80 league games for the Sky Blues, scoring two goals.

The second of those goals came in the penultimate game of last season at Middlesbrough and they, and Bolton, are the other clubs said to be interested in him.

It's not the first time Burnley have been linked with Gunnarsson. On the last occasion there was nothing in it at all, but again there is speculation that he's a target.

The combative midfielder is a regular in the Iceland side and is a favourite with the fans at Coventry, winning their player of the year award at the end of his first season.
