Swansea City confirm signing of Arnor Borg Gudjohnsen, half-brother of Chelsea favourite Eidur

Swansea have signed the 16-year-old half-brother of former Chelsea and Barcelona striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.

Arnor Borg Gudjohnsen has joined Swansea's academy on a two-year scholarship from Icelandic club Breidablik UBK.

Gudjohnsen, who plays in the number 10 position behind the main striker, impressed during trials at the Premier League club earlier this year.

The teenager is the son of Arnor Gudjohnsen, who played for Anderlecht, Lokeren and Bordeaux during a 23-year senior career and won 73 caps for Iceland.

And his half-brother Eidur - who is 22 years older than him - became Iceland's greatest football export in a glittering spell in club football.
