About
Hákon Valdimarsson is an Icelandic goalkeeper who plays for Premier League side Brentford. Standing 6ft 4in, he came up through Grótta in his homeland before joining Swedish club Elfsborg in 2021, where he made his name by claiming the Allsvenskan Goalkeeper of the Year award in 2023 and keeping more clean sheets than any other keeper in the division. Brentford signed him as a 22-year-old in January 2024, with manager Thomas Frank praising his “huge potential and a high ceiling.” An Iceland international who made his senior debut in 2021, he has earned a reputation for big moments, including a memorable showing against Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal. He is contracted to Brentford until June 2028 and is reported to earn around £16,000 per week, continuing to develop as a long-term option between the posts for the Bees.
