Andri Guðjohnsen started playing football in Barcelona, but after three years in La Masia, he left to play for his local club, Gavà, before joining Barcelona's rivals Espanyol in 2015.[4]
He moved to Real Madrid, another rival of Barcelona, from Espanyol in the summer of 2018.[8] He had scored 20 goals for Espanyol youth teams the previous season,[9] and Real was reported to have made the youngster's signing a top priority, also including Andri's younger brother Dani in the deal.[4] His first season in Madrid was successful, as his performances earned him a place in the U19 squad at only 16 years old, where he scored several goals, under Raúl's management.[4][10] He also finished the season as the top scorer for Real Madrid Juvenil C (Under-17).[11]
In July 2020, Andri tore an anterior cruciate ligament in his knee and was expected to miss six months.[12] In July 2021, Andri was promoted to the Castilla side, and in September 2021, he was included in Real Madrid's Champions League squad for the first time.[13][14] In the summer of 2022, Andri found himself out of favour in the Castilla side, leading him to leave and sign for IFK Norrköping.[citation needed]
On 18 August 2023, Guðjohnsen joined Danish Superliga side Lyngby on a one-year loan deal with a purchase option.[15]
On 17 April 2024, Lyngby announced that they had redeemed the buyout clause on Guðjohnsen, and he signed a three-year contract.[16] Less than two months later, Lyngby announced they had sold Gudjohnson to Belgian club Gent, in what is reputed to be the biggest ever sale for the club.[17]
International career
Andri has played with several Icelandic youth groups.[18] One of his youth international career highs was when he scored a hat trick against Germany, qualifying his team for Euro U17 2019.[5] Andri was also eligible to represent England (where he was born) and Spain (where he was raised).[citation needed]
