As per VoetbalPrimeur, Sparta Rotterdam have made a major move on the transfer market, making Nökkvi Thórisson’s loan move permanent. The Rotterdammers have officially exercised the purchase option from the initial loan agreement with St. Louis City in the winter window.
The Icelandic Thórisson has signed a contract with Sparta until mid-2028. It is not clear how much the club have paid for the 25-year-old striker. What is clear, however, is that technical director Gerard Nijkamp is very happy with the move.
“In the past six months, Nökkvi’s loan spell has been very good for both us and him. In the conversations we had, it quickly became clear that he was happy at Sparta and that we both wanted to continue working together for a longer period of time.”
Thórisson played twelve Eredivisie matches for Sparta in recent months, scoring two goals in the process. The forward is one of the many players who played on loan under coach Maurice Steijn this season.
While Thórisson stays, Carel Eiting, Kristian Hlynsson, Gjivai Zechiël and Mitchell van Bergen will all return to their parent clubs.
