Player to watch – Albert Gudmundsson
Iceland international Albert Gudmundsson is having a cracking 2024 on a personal level, even if his national team did narrowly miss out on qualification for the Euros. He has scored in five of his last seven Serie A appearances to move onto 14 goals for the season for his club.
A clinical finisher
Of the seven Serie A players with 13+ goals in the Italian top flight this term, Gudmundsson has by far the lowest shots per game average of 1.7. He’s the only player not playing for a top six team to feature in the top ten in the goalscorer rankings.
