Town Watch Iceland Kid - Ipswich Town News

Thorarinsson was in action for Throttir against Valur, a game apparently also watched by representatives from Stoke City.
The 17-year-old striker was first watched by Town scouts at last August's Nordic International U17 Tournament in Sweden.
The striker has progressed well and is currently the top scorer in the Icelandic league, rated as a better player than Eidur Gudjohnsen at a similar age.
