Andri Guðjohnsen

Andri Lucas Guðjohnsen (born 29 January 2002) is an Icelandic professional footballer who plays as a centre forward for side Blackburn Rovers. Born in England, he plays for the Iceland national team.

Early life Born in London, the grandson of former Anderlecht star Arnór Guðjohnsen, the younger brother of Sarpsborg 08 footballer Sveinn Aron Guðjohnsen and the older brother of Malmö FF footballer Daníel Guðjohnsen.

Club career Andri Guðjohnsen started playing football in Barcelona, but after three years in La Masia, he left to play for his local club, Gavà, before joining Barcelona's rivals Espanyol in 2015.

He moved to Real Madrid, another rival of Barcelona, from Espanyol in the summer of 2018. He had scored 20 goals for Espanyol youth teams the previous season, and Real was reported to have made the youngster's signing a top priority, also including Andri's younger brother Dani in the deal. He also finished the season as the top scorer for Real Madrid Juvenil C (Under-17).

In July 2020, Andri tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and was expected to miss six months. In July 2021, Andri was promoted to the Castilla side, and in September 2021, he was included in Real Madrid's Champions League squad for the first time. In the summer of 2022, Andri found himself out of favour in the Castilla side, leading him to leave and sign for IFK Norrköping.

On 18 August 2023, Andri joined Danish Superliga side Lyngby on a one-year loan deal with a purchase option. On 17 April 2024, Lyngby announced that they had redeemed the buyout clause on Andri, and he signed a three-year contract. Less than two months later, Lyngby announced they had sold Gudjohnson to Belgian club Gent, in what is reputed to be the biggest ever sale for the club. On 25 October 2025, Guðjohnsen scored his first goal for Blackburn Rovers, netting the winner in a 2–1 victory over Southampton, which was also the club's first home win of the season. The following match, Guðjohnsen scored a brace for Rovers in a 2–0 win over Leicester City at the King Power Stadium.

Guðjohnsen finished his first EFL Championship season with seven goals in 25 appearances. He missed the final months of the campaign after initially suffering a hamstring injury in March, before sustaining an ankle injury during his rehabilitation. On 13 March 2026, Rovers announced that Guðjohnsen had signed a new long-term contract with the club, with the length of the deal undisclosed.

Guðjohnsen scored in consecutive matches at the start of the 2026–27 season, scoring the equaliser in a 2–1 win over Burton Albion in the first round of the EFL Cup, before scoring in a 2–2 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers in the opening round of the Championship at Molineux Stadium. He scored again, in his third consecutive game, during a 2–1 over Middlesbrough at Ewood Park.

International career Andri has played with several Icelandic youth groups. One of his youth international career highs was when he scored a hat trick against Germany, qualifying his team for Euro U17 2019.

On 25 January 2021, Andri was called up to the Icelandic senior national team for the first time. He made his debut on 2 September 2021 in a World Cup qualifier against Romania, a 0–2 home loss. He substituted Albert Guðmundsson in the 79th minute. He scored his first goal on 5 September 2021 against North Macedonia, two minutes after being substituted on in the 82nd minute.

He was part of the Iceland squad that won the 2022 Baltic Cup.
