Bjarki Gardarsson dazzles Borussia Dortmund U19 with Haaland‑style record

The Icelandic centre‑forward Bjarki Hrafn Garðarsson, born on 11 February 2010, has already impressed Borussia Dortmund Under‑19 by scoring ten goals in the first seven matches of the season, drawing comparisons with Erling Haaland.

A rapid path from the Icelandic club to German football

Arriving in Germany last summer from Stjarnan, Garðarsson signed a contract that ties him to the club until 2029. The young striker, 1.94 m tall and left‑footed, immediately showed a dominant physicality and a natural instinct in the penalty area.

Son of former player Garðar Jóhannsson, he is already a starter for the Icelandic Under‑17 national team. His presence fits into the Icelandic tradition of forwards such as Andri Gudjohnsen, Orri Óskarsson and other members of the Gudjohnsen family.

Garðarsson's profile combines power, ball‑holding ability and an excellent sense of positioning, qualities that make him cold in front of goal and clinical at just sixteen years old.

His performances have already attracted the attention of international scouts, who describe him as one of the most interesting prospects of his generation.

With such an extraordinary output, the young talent confirms Iceland as a land of great forwards and promises to be a key piece for the future of Dortmund Under‑19.
