Scored on his debut this season for Breidablik as a 15 yr old. Apparently there are very high expectations of this guy, Icelandic fella on the Reading site says he is 'the most talked about football talent in Icelandic football since Eidur Gudjohnsen'

The 16-year-old striker said he is pleased with his deal at the Madejski Stadium and explained the reasons for his Ipswich U-turn: "I am very happy with the contract.

"At first I had my heart set on joining Ipswich because they have such good training facilities for youngsters, but in the end I decided to join Reading because my best friend [Gylfi Sigurdsson] joined last year, while two other Icelandic internationals are at the club."

Reading are likely to have paid a fee to Illugason's Icelandic club Breidablik with whom he had previously signed a professional contract

So you can sign reserves outside the transfer window? I did not know that. I can't believe that rule hasn't been stretched in the past. Do you have a link to the story? I didn't see anything on Readings home page.
