Albert Guðmundsson: Iceland's Kraftmikill Forward

In 2021, Albert Guðmundsson signed for Italian club Genoa for a reported £1.5m following an underwhelming stint in the Eredivisie for both PSV and AZ Alkmaar. Guðmundsson failed to make headlines during his first two seasons in Italy, producing just one goal in the 21/22 Serie A season as Genoa finished 19th and dropped back down to the Serie B for the first time since 2007.

Guðmundsson stuck with Il Grifone and under the management of Alexander Blessin and Alberto Gilardino helped bring success back to the Stadio Luigi Ferraris producing 16 goal contributions as Genoa finished second, behind Frosinone, and returned to Italy’s top flight.

Fast forward 12 months and the 26-year-old hasn’t slowed down yet as Genoa finished 11th, securing their top-flight status once again, with Guðmundsson beating his Serie B tally producing 14 goals and 4 assists, a tally only matched by his performances for Jong PSV during the 16/17 Eerste Divisie season.
