Notts to rekindle interest in Birgisson?

With Glynn Hurst’s contract termination believed to have freed up as much as £1,500 early last week, the club now have to assess their options – and indeed the capabilities of their current squad – during the mid-season transfer opening

Birgisson: Interested in move

Having seen Saul Deeney, Shane McFaul, Ian Richardson, Ruben Zadkovich, and, now, Hurst all cut-off from the wage bill, Thordarson now seems poised to make at least two additions to his squad, with a number of non-contracted players already having registered with the club this season.

One such addition, as predicted by the Icelandic media, is 22-year old Icelandic midfielder, Birgisson, who Gudjon took on trial late-on last year. And, with Gudjon known to be sniffing out a deal, the Icelandic press are predicting Notts to revive their interests in the midfielder.

The former Fram and Vikingur midfielder, who is currently a free agent after refusing an extension on his one-season deal in his native Iceland, will come highly-rated from his homeland, with Birgisson already having expressed an interest in signing for his fellow countrymen’s League Two outfit.

"It went well and I’m satisfied with how I did over there. It was hard at first, as I did not know the players. The pace is very high over there, but it was OK," said Birgisson, speaking to the Icelandic media recently.

"It’s difficult to say at this moment whether or not a deal will materialise, but there is interest from both parties – all will be revealed come January."
