Elfsborg goalkeeper Valdimarsson welcomes Aston Villa, Copenhagen offers

IF Elfsborg goalkeeper Hakon Valdimarsson has welcomed interest from Aston Villa.

Villa and FC Copenhagen have both made offers for the Icelander.

He told Sportbladet: "It is big. It is a top club in the Premier League and they play very well. It is great to see that they are interested. It shows that I have played well last season.

"FCK is also a big club. They have played in the Champions League two years in a row. It is probably Scandinavia's biggest team. It's not as big as the Premier League but it would still be a good step.

"I have a contract with Elfsborg for another three years, so probably. We'll see. I enjoy myself very much here. We will qualify for Europe this summer and challenge for the Allsvenskan gold."
