As Gary Ablett's second string prepare for their final league game of the season at home to Newcastle tonight, we conclude our reserves in profile series by talking to Icelandic midfielder Victor Palsson.

The youngster, who celebrates his 18th birthday tomorrow, signed a two-and-a-half-year deal in January after joining from Danish outfit AGF Arhus.

Palsson is viewed as one of the brightest talents to emerge from Iceland in recent years having represented his country at U17, U18 and 19 level.
