Jóhann Berg Guðmundsson (born 27 October 1990) is an Icelandic professional footballer who plays for Burnley in the Premier League and the Iceland national team as a winger.
Born in Reykjavík, Jóhann started his career at Breiðablik, but moved to England early in his career when his parent decided to relocate there. He had spells with the youth team at Chelsea and Fulham, while studying at the International School of London. After failing to adapt to life in London, he decided to move back to Iceland in 2008, joining his boyhood club Breiðablik as he admitted missing playing football and attending school with his friends.
After returning to Breiðablik, Jóhann made his Breiðablik debut, in the opening game of the season, where he played 72 minutes, in a 1–1 draw against Íþróttabandalag Akraness. Since making his debut, he established himself as first team regular in the 2008 Úrvalsdeild, where he played often as left wing and striker. Guðmundsson then scored his first Breiðablik goal on 7 July 2008, in a 2–0 win over Fylkir. Two weeks later, on 21 July 2008, Jóhann scored his second goal for the club, in a 6–1 win over Íþróttabandalag Akraness and went on to finish the season, making 22 appearance and scoring six times.
He was voted best player for the second third of the Icelandic Premier League season in 2008. On 30 September 2008, Bundesliga side Hamburger SV had an offer accepted for Jóhann, the deal did however not go through.
On 28 November 2008, it was reported that Jóhann was on trial at English Championship side Coventry City.
