Kristjan Gauti Emilsson Player Thread

Liverpool sign Emilsson

Icelandic 16-year-old Kristjan Gauti Emilsson has joined Liverpool on a three-year contract, his club FH said on Thursday.

Club chairman Jon Halldorson has confirmed the move but no details of the deal have been disclosed.

"Liverpool made me an offer that I couldn't refuse. It's just like a dream come true," Emilsson said.

Emilsson trained with Liverpool last month and was offered a contract. He had been watched by other clubs, including Manchester United, Glasgow Rangers and IFK Gothenburg.

Emilsson has not played for Iceland's first team but has represented the national under-17, under-18 and under-19 sides.

He will be the third Icelander to play for Liverpool. Haukur Ingi Gudnason joined the Premier League club in 1997 and Gudlaugur Victor Palsson has played for the youth and reserve teams recently.

Welcome to Liverpool, Kristjan!

I just heard him described as a defender.

Welcome to the club! Hope to see him progress to the first team in a few years time.

Another player that takes far too long learning how to pronounce his name

Is he supposed to be some next "___________" ?

Good luck to the lad but the fact that his signing was a big news story on Sky Sports yesterday shows how desperate they are for news! 16 year old kid...let him just get on with learning his trade and not being bigged up already. Welcome lad but now keep a low profile and learn from the decent pros around you.

hope he can give us a nickname his name is difficult to pronouce. going to take some time to learn the skills but he has good coaches here. wish him well and hope he is one of our stars of the future

Emilsson ain't too hard is it?

And he's been described as a defende/midfielder/attacking midfielder so i have no idea.

I read somewhere that he's an attacking midfielder and he's already 6' 4". Welcome to Anfield Kristjan

Welcome to Liverpool, hopefully see in the first team in 3 or 4 years time

Good luck and get stuck in

Welcome to Anfield Kristjan, learn your trade in the reserves, the Liverpool way.

He plays in the same role Gerrard does btw.
