Alfons Sampsted’s Permanent Move to Birmingham City

From FC Twente to the Championship: Alfons Sampsted’s Permanent Move to Birmingham City – Another Seamless Relocation by Partridge Homes

We’re delighted to congratulate Alfons Sampsted, whose loan move from FC Twente to Birmingham City FC has officially become permanent following the club’s promotion back to the Championship. The clause in Alfons’ contract was triggered after a fantastic season for the Blues, and we couldn’t be happier to see him remain in the West Midlands.

As with many international footballers relocating to the UK, the logistics of moving — especially at short notice — can be incredibly stressful. That’s where Partridge Homes comes in.

Back in the summer of 2024, we were approached to support Alfons, an Icelandic international, with his relocation to Birmingham. With the clock ticking before the new season began, we stepped in to ensure the entire process was handled efficiently, privately, and above all—personally. From securing a high-end, fully-furnished property near the club’s facilities, to handling the utilities, furnishings, and move-in support, we made sure everything was in place from day one. Our goal? So Alfons could focus on what he came here to do: play football at the highest level.

This is the essence of our sports and entertainment relocation service. Whether it’s a player arriving from abroad or transferring between UK clubs, we know exactly what’s needed and how to deliver it. Our discreet, white-glove approach has earned the trust of players, clubs, agents, and player liaison teams across the region.
