Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Gylfi Sigurdsson says his recent form has been pleasing and the Icelandic international has praised manager Andre Villas-Boas for the impact he's had on his performances.
A return of three goals in just six appearances this season from Gylfi Sigurdsson has propelled the Spurs midfielder into a key role at White Hart Lane under new manager Andre Villas-Boas, the Icelandic international also contributing three assists for team-mates as Spurs continue their fine start to life under the Portuguese boss.
Sigurdsson, 23, has scored three goals in his last four appearances in all competitions and it would appear he has adjusted to life at White Hart Lane following his £8 million move from 1899 Hoffenheim during the summer.
Following the midfielders latest goal, a stunning 25 yard striker against Hannover 96 in the Europa League last night the Icelandic international has revealed he's pleased by his recent form for Spurs.
"My form has been very pleasing for me personally and I hope to keep playing well," stated the 23 year old.
"It's always great when you're helping team-mates score and when you're scoring yourself, every player wants to be doing those things and thankfully my form has been good. Hopefully I can continue to play well and impress the manager and fans with my performances," added Sigurdsson.

Tottenham Hotspur took control of Group H tonight as they beat Bundesliga side Hannover 96 convincingly at White Hart Lane in their Europa League clash as goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson, Younes Kaboul and Gareth Bale cancelled out an own goal from captain Michael Dawson.
Spurs took firm control of Group H tonight at White Hart Lane as they beat Hannover 96 at White Hart Lane.
The North London club now sit three points clear of Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow at the top of their Europa League group following a 3-1 win over the Bundesliga outfit, goals from Gylfi Sigurdsson, Younes Kaboul and Gareth Bale cancelling out an own goal from captain Michael Dawson.
Key midfielder Scott Parker made his first appearance of the season for Spurs in the contest and played 50 minutes before being replaced by Sandro, the England international almost at the end of his rehabilitation following an achilles tendon injury that has kept him sidelined for the opening two months of the season.
The hosts couldn't have enjoyed a better start against Hannover 96 as Parker picked out Gylfi Sigurdsson in midfield and with under a minute played at White Hart Lane the Icelandic international unleashed a stunning 25 yard effort to beat Ron-Robert Zieler in the Hannover 96 goal.
Spurs enjoyed most of the early possession following that goal and they looked in control throughout the opening half hour. The hosts were perhaps unlucky to have not extended their lead as Emmanuel Adebayor headed narrowly wide of the post and Clint Dempsey struck the bar with a powerful volley.
As half time approached Hannover created their best chance of the game and they were fortunate to go into the break level, former Manchester United striker Mame Diouf finding space inside the area, the strikers effort blocked by Spurs skipper Michael Dawson, the ball looping up and over a stranded Brad Friedel, the North London club conceding an own goal for the second time in the space of just four days.
That setback didn't effect Spurs for to long as they again took the lead just five minutes after the half time break, a corner from Sigurdsson powerfully headed home by Younes Kaboul, the French defender netting his first goal of the season to put Spurs deservedly back in front in this important Group H Europa League clash.
Spurs had failed to put the game beyond Liverpool on Sunday in their Premier League clash and manager Andre Villas-Boas urged his team to continue looking for more goals after they'd taken the lead against their German opponents. There was to be no repeat of the Liverpool failure, a goal from Gareth Bale on the hour mark sealing victory for Spurs, the Welsh international slotting the ball between the legs of Zieler after Adebayor had released him into space following a smart give and go with Dempsey on the half way line.
Elsewhere in Group H Dinamo Moscow thrashed AZ Alkmaar 5-2 and the group now looks likely to be a three horse race after the Dutch side lost for the second consecutive time in Group H, although they had turned around a 2-0 deficit in Moscow and went into the half time break level with the hosts before a dismal second half ensured they remained rooted to bottom spot in Group H whilst Spurs have recorded back to back 3-1 wins to sit three points clear at the top, both Hannover 96 and Dinamo Moscow having won and lost a game each in Group H.
BBC Sport apologizes for any inconvenience and we're working on fixing the problem.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Andre Villas-Boas has called on struggling strikers Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor to take their chances after Liverpool picked up a point at White Hart Lane on Sunday.
Jermain Defoe and Emmanuel Adebayor are struggling for form according to statistics. Defoe has scored just two goals this season, a brace against Newcastle United last month, whilst Adebayor has so far failed to find the net in any competition following his summer move from Premier League champions Manchester City.
Spurs have however dropped just four points in the Premier League so far this season.
They also remain unbeaten in all competitions, have won all of their away games, boast a mean defence that has conceded just three goals in all competitions this season and occupy third spot on the Premier League table.
Despite his sides impressive start to the season Spurs boss Andre Villas-Boas has called on Defoe and Adebayor to take their chances after Liverpool picked up a point at White Hart Lane on Sunday, the hosts wasting numerous chances to put the game beyond the struggling Reds after Gylfi Sigurdsson had broken the deadlock.
"Every team needs their strikers to score goals when they get the chances," said Villas-Boas.
"It's frustrating when you create many good chances but see your strikers fail to score, this can happen maybe once or twice, not all the time, it must improve if we're to continue winning games," added the Spurs boss.
"Jermain and Emmanuel must improve, they must start taking their chances, they know this, we've spoken about this and they feel the same way. They will continue to work hard in training everyday and in games, we look forward to seeing them scoring more regularly, after all that's what they are paid to do as strikers."

Yeah man but these things happen, I'm just glad our performances have been consistently good.
We're sitting in fourth spot at the moment, I think top three is the aim for this season.

Tottenham Hotspur defender Kyle Walker believes that relegation threatened Liverpool didn't deserve a point following the pairs 1-1 Premier League draw yesterday at White Hart Lane.
Walker, 22, was the unfortunate villain as he diverted a low cross from Liverpool full back Glen Johnson past his own keeper Hugo Lloris to level proceedings on the hour mark yesterday at White Hart Lane.
The visitors were for large parts of the contest on the back foot, a combination of poor finishing from Spurs and some inspired saves from goalkeeper Pepe Reina helping the Reds secure a draw, although the result wasn't enough to move Brendan Rodgers side out of the Premier Leagues bottom three.
However the Spurs defender believes Liverpool didn't deserve the point they picked up at White Hart Lane yesterday and called on his team-mates to rebound quickly, Spurs facing Bundesliga side Hannover 96 on Thursday night at White Hart Lane in an important Europa League Group H clash.
"Anybody who understands football knows the game yesterday could have and should have been over by half time, we let ourselves and the fans down yesterday. It's very disappointing," stated Walker.
"The great thing is we've always got another game coming up and hopefully we can put in a good performance in our next game whilst getting the right result. Our next game won't be easy and I think we'll need to be at our very best to pick up all three points on offer, but we're confident we can do that and our performances so far this season have been very good," added the 22 year old defender.
"All I can really say about yesterdays game is Liverpool didn't deserve a point, they didn't do enough and we dominated the game. Unfortunately an own goal by myself gifted them a way back into the game and after that they defended well, but as I said the game should have been put to bed before half time."

Liverpool remain winless and remain inside the Premier League relegation zone despite picking up a point at White Hart Lane as a Kyle Walker own goal cancelled out Gylfi Sigurdsson's first half opener.
Spurs fans have been left frustrated after Liverpool, who are winless in the Premier League this season, managed to pick up a point at White Hart Lane despite being second best throughout the pairs clash this afternoon.
An unfortunate own goal from Kyle Walker on the hour mark handed the Reds what many will call an undeserved point, the draw at White Hart Lane ending Spurs four game winning streak in all competitions.
Prior to kick off Spurs captain Michael Dawson had called on his team-mates to show the underperforming Liverpool respect and the hosts showed a level of professionalism that will have pleased manager Andre Villas-Boas despite dropping two points at home for the second time in the Premier League this season.
The first chance of the game presented itself to Spurs in the opening minute, a fantastic pass over the top by Gareth Bale cut the Liverpool defence open, striker Jermain Defoe unfortunate to see his stinging volley crash into the legs of Liverpool keeper Pepe Reina, the strikers woes continuing in front of goal.
Liverpool started poorly and should have fallen behind two minutes later when Bale picked out Mousa Dembele inside the area, however the Belgian international could only fire his effort straight at Reina.
The visitors were struggling to deal with Dembele, Bale and Gylfi Sigurdsson in midfield, the latter fouled twice in quick succession by Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard, referee Mike Dean left with no option but to book Gerrard.
It appeared likely that it was simply a matter of time before Spurs found the breakthrough and it came four minutes after the half hour mark, a dangerous cross from Bale from the left hand side was met by Sigurdsson, who rose high above Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel, the Icelandic international leaving Reina with little chance as his header clipped the underside of the bar before crossing the line.
The first half drew to a quiet ending with Spurs deservedly holding a one goal advantage, Sigurdsson's second goal of the season enough to send the hosts in at half time leading, Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers left with a big task at half time, his side struggling inside the Premier League relegation zone and at White Hart Lane.
Brendan Rodgers pleased with point
After the half time break Spurs continued their dominance, Brazilian midfielder Sandro flashing an effort just wide of the post five minutes into the second half, the warning signs there for Liverpool. The Reds have been out of form this season and are in need of inspiration, their captain Steven Gerrard almost providing that as he attempted to chip Hugo Lloris from a distance, the England international forcing a save from the Spurs keeper.
A minute after Liverpool registered their first shot on target they were level, a free kick was only cleared as far as Jamie Carragher, the defender finding Glen Johnson out wide on the right hand side and when the full back fizzed a low cross into the area Spurs defender Kyle Walker was the unfortunate player to be in the way, the ball diverted wickedly beyond Lloris who couldn't readjust his feet in time to stop the ball crossing the line.
In the end that was enough for Liverpool, the Reds holding on to record another draw under manager Brendan Rodgers, the visitors lucky to have left White Hart Lane with a point whilst the hosts can certainly feel hard done by, manager Andre Villas-Boas appearing to have got the Spurs players playing an exciting and attacking brand of football, exactly what the fans at the North London club want and now the young Portuguese manager simply needs to turn those dominating performances into more resounding victories, Villas-Boas looking set for a lengthy stay at White Hart Lane, something that will provide him with a great sense of relief following his short and chaotic tenure at Stamford Bridge when he appeared to be at war with the clubs leading stars.

If you can take a 1-0 lead to Turin and grab an early away goal that would make things extremely tough for Juve.. However I really can't see Celtic keeping a clean sheet at Celtic Park if they're looking to actually get a goal or two to take to Turin. In saying that Lennon should be extremely chuffed to have got Celtic this far with the group they had and maybe having no pressure will inspire another Barca game performance home and away!! Either way it should be entertaining football, I can't wait.

Tottenham Hotspur captain Michael Dawson has urged his team-mates to treat Liverpool with caution ahead of their clash at White Hart Lane tomorrow despite the Reds lingering inside the relegation zone.
Liverpool currently sit second from bottom in the Premier League after their opening five games under new manager Brendan Rodgers yielded a dismal three points, the Reds winless in their last five games in all competitions, their last victory against Serbian minnows Crvena Zvezda in their Europa League playoff.
Despite that poor form Spurs captain Michael Dawson has urged his team-mates to treat Liverpool with caution ahead of their clash at White Hart Lane tomorrow afternoon, the 28 year old defender warning that the Reds pose a real danger to their unbeaten start under new Portuguese manager Andre Villas-Boas.
"Liverpool are underperforming at the moment and they'd admit that, the table doesn't lie and they're in a bit of trouble right now. It's still early in the season though with a lot of games to be played so they've time to fix that and I'm sure they'll do just that because they're a big club with some great players," said Dawson.
"We've got to respect them despite their poor start and make sure we don't become the first to suffer defeat against them. If we don't turn up they will beat us and that would be the end of our unbeaten run under the new boss. That's obviously something we want to continue for as long as we can," added the Spurs skipper.
The Spurs skipper has played every minute of the clubs opening four Premier League games and the 28 year old defender is delighted that the club have started the season so well, the North London club boasting the meanest defence in England with just one goal conceded so far this season in the Premier League.
