Aron Jóhannsson (born November 10, 1990) is an American professional soccer player of Icelandic origin who plays as a striker for German club Werder Bremen, and for the United States national team.
He began his career with Fjölnir and later played in the Danish Superliga for AGF before joining AZ in January 2013. After two-and-a-half seasons at the Eredivisie club, he was signed by Werder Bremen.
Formerly an Iceland under-21 international, Aron made his senior debut for the United States in 2013. He represented that nation at the 2014 FIFA World Cup and the 2015 CONCACAF Gold Cup, helping them to fourth place in the latter.
Born to Icelandic parents who were students in Mobile, Alabama, United States, Aron moved to Iceland with his family at the age of three. Growing up, he spent most his life in Iceland while occasionally visiting the United States as well as spending one year and graduating in 2008 from The Pendleton School at the IMG Academy in Bradenton, Florida in the United States.
Aron started his youth career at his local club, Fjölnir, in Reykjavik, Iceland. In 2005, he moved to Breiðablik for one season, heading back to his former club the following year.
