Eidur Gudjohnsen is set to sign for AEK Athens' following an eleventh-hour bid by the Greek side.
Athens are understood to have sent representatives to London yesterday in a bid to hijack Gudjohnsen's move to the Boleyn Ground, which looked a done deal yesterday after the 32-year-old completed his medical at the club.News from Greece this morning suggests Gudjohnsen met with former Icelandic international and current AEK Director of Football Arnar Gretarsson in order to discuss a two-year with the Enosis.
A six-hour meeting with Gretarsson and fellow AEK Director George Constantinides last night is said to have concluded with the former Chelsea and Barcelona striker being offered a two-year contract - double the length of the deal offered by West Ham.
Although no formal announcement has yet been made, Greek sources are claiming this morning that Gudjohnsen has accepted AEK's offer - although an announcement will be be delayed until he has had the opportunity to inform Sam Allardyce of his decision.
As always, more on this as it happens.
