Barca star: I could play for Hammers

4:47pm Monday 29th June 2009

BARCELONA forward Eidur Gudjohnsen has hinted that he could return to English football with West Ham.

The Icelandic international revealed there was 'plenty of interest' from English clubs and said a return to England, where he made his name with Chelsea, was 'inevitable'.

The 30-year-old told the Daily Star on Sunday: “Returning to England is probably inevitable. There is a lot of interest from the Premier League.”

Speaking about the rumoured interest from the Hammers, he added: “I had a great time with Chelsea and Gianfranco (Zola) and I know the game inside out. I know I would adapt easily to the football there.”

Zola has been linked with a move for Gudjohnsen in recent weeks, and his addition to the side would be the second signing of the summer, following last week's capture of Inter Milan's Luis Jiminez on a season-long loan deal.
