Eidur open to English
return
Eidur Gudjohnsen has refused to rule out the prospect of a
return to England this summer.
The former Bolton and Chelsea star has been strongly linked with a
move back to the Premier League, with the likes of Newcastle,
Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa, Portsmouth and West Ham all
linked.
Manchester United were the most recent club linked with a swoop as
reports in Spain claimed they were ready to offer former Barcelona
starlet Gerard Pique back to his former club.
Gudjohnsen's father and agent Arnor has already denied having any
contact with United, but his son has admitted he could be tempted
by a return to England after 12 months in Catalunya.
"I joined Barcelona to be part of the club's triumphs but it is not
easy for me when you look at the club's forward line and see all
the big names there," he is quoted in the Daily Mail.
"Each minute has been a special test for me but to sit on the bench
is not the most desirable experience for a player.
"I don't think I have failed in Spain but perhaps I have not
totally won the confidence of the coach. If I leave then my ideal
idea would be to return to British football.
"If Barcelona decide to place me in the market then I need to study
all the details. But a perfect choice for me will be a club that
plays in the Champions League.
"Obviously Manchester United fit that
category."
Celtic have also been linked with a move and the Icelander admits
he has heard about them and a number of English clubs.
"I know there has been some contact with English clubs and with
Celtic but the answer to this question does not rely just on me,"
he said.
Meanwhile, rumoured makeweight Pique - says he has not heard about
any swap deal but a move back Los Cules does appeal.
"I have contract with the Manchester United and I have not said
anything about my future," he told Sport.
"It is not a secret that I am Cule [a Barca fan] and I have
always said that my illusion is to return to play one day with
Barc.
"I am very been thankful to Manchester, but I have never spoken
with them of the possibility of an exchange."
