Sveinn Aron Guðjohnsen (born 12 May 1998) is an Icelandic footballer who plays as a forward for Allsvenskan club IF Elfsborg and the Iceland national team.
Club career
He spent the first three years of his senior club career in Icelandic leagues, first 1. deild karla and then the top-level Úrvalsdeild karla.
On 26 July 2018, he signed with the Italian Serie B club Spezia.[1] He made his Serie B debut for Spezia on 29 September 2018 in a game against Carpi as a 59th-minute substitute for Andrey Galabinov.[2]
On 31 January 2019, he was loaned to Serie C club Ravenna.[3] On 13 September 2020, he was loaned out again, this time to Danish Superliga club Odense Boldklub for the 2020-21 season.[4][5]
International career
He represented Iceland at the 2021 UEFA European Under-21 Championship, where he started in the first two group stage games, both of which Iceland lost (he scored the squad's only goal at the tournament in a 1–4 loss to Russia). Instead of playing in the closing game on 31 March, he was called up to the senior squad and made his debut for it on the same day in a World Cup qualifier against Liechtenstein.[6]
Personal life
His father Eiður Guðjohnsen is a record scorer for the Iceland national football team and played for many notable clubs, such as Bolton Wanderers, Chelsea, Barcelona and Tottenham Hotspur.[1] His grandfather Arnór Guðjohnsen also represented Iceland internationally for many years. His younger brothers Andri and Daniel Tristan are, as of September 2021, on the youth teams of Real Madrid.
