Arnor Sigurdsson: Blackburn Rovers sign Iceland forward on permanent deal
- Published
Arnor Sigurdsson has scored five goals for Blackburn since arriving last summer
Iceland forward Arnor Sigurdsson has signed a permanent deal with Blackburn Rovers until the end of 2025.
The 24-year-old was signed on an initial 12-month deal in June from Russian club CSKA Moscow.
Sigurdsson, who has also had stints at Venezia, hometown club Akranes and IFK, has scored five goals in 16 games since his arrival at Ewood Park.
"We are really happy to make Arnor a permanent signing," Rovers' director of football Gregg Broughton said.
"Arnor has displayed the technical quality that is central to his performance and he is now a vital part of our squad."
His initial deal at Blackburn came about through Fifa's rules on suspension of contracts for those players affected by the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and this move now means the player's full registration is with the Championship club.
