Reports tonight suggest that West Ham United have held talks with representatives of Barcelona with regard to a deal for striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.
KUMB understands that a party from the Spanish giants - led by vice-president Marc Ingla - met Hammers chiefs last week to discuss a fee for the 29-year-old Icelandic international, who joined Barca two years ago this summer.Should the Hammers land their man it will end a 12-month pursuit of the former Chelsea player, who was first linked with a move to United during last summer's transfer window.
Gudjohnsen - who is known to have visited London last week - is thought to be keen on a return to the Premier League, where he spent eight years with Bolton and Chelsea. Barcelona are willing to sell a player they landed for around £6 million for a similar fee.
As always, we'll bring you more news on this as it happens.
