Orri Oskarsson?

[BringBackSwales]

19 year old Icelandic striker we are supposed to have had a look at according to the Pathetic?

First Haaland, now this guy. Vikings pretending to be footballers, it's an invasion

Any relation to Arni Arason?

Sounds like his Swedish cousin.

First: after hearing peps post match press i dont think anyone will come in

Second: "The reigning Premier League champions now seem unlikely to pursue a deal for the 19-year-old striker but they are firm admirers and he is set to depart Copenhagen before the summer transfer window closes" this reads like a draft of a rumor it was supposed to be released last thursday. Ornestein even mentions Porto's interest and they just signed two strikers in the last 48 hours, so, this is a nothingburger

Girona was heavily linked to him earlier in the window. Seems like CFG has done their homework. Don't really know much about him but let's see what happens.

Most Icelandic names sound kind of similar, its because Iceland still (mostly) use the old traditional Scandinavian naming system that once all Scandinavian countries used for last names. The father dont give his children his last name, he gives his children his first name as their last name adding "-son" if it's a boy or "-dottir" if it's a girl. Like in this scenario, Orris father is named Óskar Þorvaldsson, meaning his son's last name will be Óskarsson, not Þorvaldsson. Orri Óskarsson = Orri, Óskars son.

Yeah off topic and nobody cares but it took me 30 seconds to write so posted it anyway :)

So basically Ornstein is saying "Óskarsson is likely to depart before the window closes and it's unlikely that City will sign him". Well thanks for that incredibly useful information Ornstein, transfer journalists are now "breaking" "exclusives" about which players we wont sign!

I found it interesting if that's any consolation.
