Eythor Bjørgolfsson, the Norwegian-born striker, celebrates his 25th birthday on the 25th of August in the year 2000. He currently devastates the defences of the Scottish Premiership with Motherwell. Standing at a towering 6ft 3in (1.93m) and weighing in at 13st (83kg), the man's physical presence is an undeniable force. Celtic fans may recognise him by his favoured number 15 jersey on his back.
Bjørgolfsson's worth in the transfer market is currently pegged around €400k, which equates to about £335,000, essentially presenting him as a steal of a deal for any interested parties. The figure is courtesy of Transfermarkt, the trusted place for football market values.
The chap had his career beginnings at the Norwegian club Moss in the OBOS-ligaen. His significant talent didn't go unnoticed and in March 2025, he made his journey to Umea FC in the Division 1 Norra in Sweden. The transfer fee remains undisclosed to keep the financial brigade on their toes, presumably. Bjørgolfsson didn't waste much time acclimating to the Swedish terrain, making 29 appearances for the club and netting 15 goals in his first season.
No half measures for Bjørgolfsson; he soon embarked on his next adventure in the Scottish Premiership with Motherwell in January 2026. This canny Norseman has made eight appearances for the Steelmen to the time of writing and scored one goal. His contribution thus far may seem modest but the season has just begun. He's also marked his presence in the Scottish Cup 2025-2026 highlighting his commitment to Motherwell's cause.
Celtic has never had the privilege of Bjørgolfsson's services. Yet, it wouldn't be the weirdest twist of fate to see him someday don the hallowed green and white stripes and light up Parkhead with his striking prowess.
