&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Albert Gudmundsson&lt;/strong&gt; has been one of the key players for &lt;strong&gt;Genoa &lt;/strong&gt;at the start of this season. While last season he helped the Rossoblù to win promotion back to the top flight, he has this campaign played a central role in Alberto Gilardino’s team, who are in 15th place on eight points after eight matches played.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Not bad at all, considering at least three of these points have been earned by the Icelander, who has quickly gone about making his mark in Serie A TIM. &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/genoa-4-1-roma-13b84gn5o0haj1&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;His first goal&lt;strong&gt;,&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt; in fact, saw the Grifone win at home against José Mourinho’s Roma on matchday 6. Gudmundsson put in a stellar performance that day, opening the scoring for his side after just five minutes and guiding the Grifone to a vital victory at the Ferraris (4-1).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A game later, the midfielder was back on the scoresheet, bagging &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.legaseriea.it/en/media/serie-a/udinese-2-2-genoa-13baiokg118e7m&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;his first brace&lt;/a&gt; of the season – against Sottil’s Udinese. Albert really has got off to a flier this season, and not just in Serie A TIM. In the &lt;strong&gt;Coppa Italia Frecciarossa&lt;/strong&gt;, against Modena on 11 August, Gudmundsson &lt;a href=&#34;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGxclvW3_XE&#34; data-new-window=&#34;true&#34; target=&#34;_blank&#34; rel=&#34;noopener noreferrer&#34;&gt;scored a cracking goal&lt;/a&gt; (to make it 3-2) in front of the 28,000 spectators at the ground: a stunning solo effort, dribbling from midfield and leaving the defence trailing in his wake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Born in Reykjavik in 1997, he comes from a family of footballers, starting with his mother who was a professional in the Icelandic top flight. His father, meanwhile, played for KR Reykjavik in his country and in Belgian football, before becoming a television commentator for the Euros in 2016. But it doesn’t end there; his footballing &lt;strong&gt;DNA&lt;/strong&gt; runs even deeper than that as his great-grandfather, Albert Sigurdur Gudmundsson, played for AC Milan and was the first Icelander to play in the Italian top flight.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He began playing with KR in the Icelandic capital before moving to the Netherlands to play youth football with Heerenveen. He signed for PSV in 2915 and eventually broke through to the first team for the 2017/18, attracting the interest of AZ Alkmaar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He played for AZ for three seasons, making 98 appearances and scoring 24 goals. After his contract ran out, he decided to make the switch to a new country: thus began his life in Genova and Serie A TIM.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He spent a year with the &lt;strong&gt;Grifone &lt;/strong&gt;in the second division, proving himself vital in the club’s successful bid for promotion. He ended the campaign as the Rossoblù’s leading goalscorer and picked up a nomination for the club’s 2022/23 Player of the Season.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With eight Serie A TIM appearances under his belt to date, the Icelander is cementing himself in Italian football. His technique, passing and dribbling ability make him a key player for Gilardino and a point of reference for his teammates, who are determined to earn a spot in the top flight for next season as well.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;(Photo LaPresse)&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

Stunning displays and evident talent; the midfielder is a key figure in Gilardino’s side
