Gudjohnsen's Barca exit on the cards

Eidur Gudjohnsen's father and agent has admitted the player is likely to leave La Liga giants Barcelona this summer.

Reports in Spain have suggested Barcelona are willing to part with former Chelsea star Gudjohnsen for a fee of £5million.
A move back to England has been mooted with West Ham believed to be leading the chase for Gudjohnsen after Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola refused to rule out a move for his former Chelsea team-mate.

Gudjohsen Snr, Arnor admits there is a lot of interest in Eidur and that he expects talks with interested club next week about a possible move.

"It is a real possibility that Eidur could leave Barcelona this summer," Gudjohnsen told Skysports.

"Barcelona have not told Eidur yet, but I have seen the reports that he could go.

"There is interest from a number of clubs in Eidur and I expect serious discussions with clubs next week.

"Eidur would be open to a move back to England as he knows everything in England and it would seriously appeal to him."
