Arnór was described as a key player for Norrköping in the 2018 Allsvenskan season, where he played as an attacking midfielder.[4][5]
On 31 August 2018, Arnór signed a 5-year contract with the Russian Premier League club PFC CSKA Moscow.[6] The transfer fee was reportedly set at around 40 million Swedish kronor (approximately €4 million), a club record fee received by IFK Norrköping.[7] Arnór made his debut for CSKA on 19 September 2018 in a game against FC Viktoria Plzeň and became the youngest Icelandic player ever to appear in a UEFA Champions League game.[8] He scored his first goal for CSKA on 7 November 2018 in a Champions League game against Roma.[9] Four days later, he scored his first Russian Premier League goal in a 2–0 victory over FC Zenit Saint Petersburg.[10] On 12 December 2018, Sigurðsson scored a goal in a 3–0 win over Real Madrid in the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.[11] On 6 April 2019, he scored twice in a 2–0 derby victory over FC Spartak Moscow.[citation needed]
On 30 July 2021, he joined Italian Serie A club Venezia on loan for the 2021–22 season. Before going on loan, he extended his contract with CSKA until 2024.[12]
On 3 July 2022, Sigurðsson suspended his contract with CSKA Moscow for the 2022–23 season, having taken advantage of the FIFA ruling relating to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[13] On 14 July 2022, he returned to IFK Norrköping until June 2023 under these regulations.[14]
Arnór made his senior debut for Iceland on 15 November 2018 in a 2018–19 UEFA Nations League A game against Belgium, as a starter.[15]
