January 2023 saw Finnsson transfer to Lyngby in Denmark's 1. division. For the 2022-2023 season, Finnsson found the net once amid 15 appearances. He followed this up with two goals in the 2023-24 season and 5 league appearances in the 2024-25 season.

In August 2024, a fee in the region of £430k saw Finnsson make his way to his current club, FC Utrecht.
