West Ham United Football Club could take Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan this season.

Gianfranco Zola is desperate to add to his striker options at Upton Park, and he has been linked with a number of top names in recent weeks.

It is believed his first choice has always been Gudjohnsen, his former Chelsea team-mate, but the £6million asking price has been a stumbling block.

However, Sport claim Barcelona are willing to let the Premier League side have the 30-year-old on loan for the season, providing they cover the majority of his wage.
