Benoný Breki Andrésson Scouting Report At Stockport County: The 19-Year-Old Natural Goal Threat

In recent years, the EFL has seen several clubs enter the European market to acquire new players.

One of the most notable and recent examples is Notts County, who signed Gambian forward Alassana Jatta from Danish club Viborg FF.

He has bagged 19 goal contributions in 27 games since his arrival, so that move has proven to be the result of some excellent scouting work done by the club.

Another EFL League One club, Stockport County, have followed a similar route by signing Icelandic forward Benoný Breki Andrésson from KR Reykjavík.

The 19-year-old has enjoyed a highly successful 2024 campaign in Iceland, scoring 24 goals in 30 games across all competitions.

Stockport fans will be eager to see that kind of clinical form from Andrésson after his move is completed at the opening of the January transfer window.

How much we see of Andrésson this season remains a question.

Stockport’s official statement regarding the signing states that he will be part of the club’s ‘Emerging Talent program,’ where he will undergo an ‘extensive development plan.’

To some readers, this could seem like County are aiming to slowly introduce Andrésson to the first-team environment rather than throwing him straight into League One action.

Based on his current ability, this scout report will provide a mixed data and tactical analysis of what the Icelandic forward could offer Stockport County.

The analysis will also discuss the player he could develop into.

Benoný Breki Andrésson already possesses several admirable traits, from his clinical approach in the box to his hard work out of possession.

As Figure 1 shows, Andrésson is a high ranker in several attacking percentiles compared to other centre-forwards (CFs) in Iceland’s top division (and other leagues in the same tier deemed to be at a similar level).
