Brentford F.C. has successfully completed a deal to sign Hákon Valdimarsson, with the player set to undergo a medical today. The transfer agreement with Elfsborg includes a fixed fee of €3.1 million, with additional performance-related add-ons that could see the total cost rise to €4 million.
Brentford’s successful bid comes after both Copenhagen and Aston Villa had their offers for the player turned down, with the Bees ultimately outmaneuvering the competition to secure Valdimarsson’s signature.
The deal represents a strategic move by Brentford to strengthen their squad, as they have managed to hijack the move from under the noses of their rivals. The completion of the medical will be the final step in finalizing Valdimarsson’s transfer to the Premier League side.
