Gianfranco Zola would love to welcome Eidur Gudjohnsen to West Ham United Football Club.

The Italian coach is well aware of the talents of the Icelandic international, after they played together for Chelsea between 2000 and 2003.

Zola is looking to add to his striker options during the winter, as the Hammers look set to be involved in a bitter fight to save their Premier League lives.

Gudjohnsen, who left Stamford Bridge for Barcelona, is now plying his trade in France with Monaco, but he has struggled to settle in Ligue 1.

His agent, and father, has indicated that the 31-year-old could be open to a return to England, and United would love to take him on loan for the rest of the campaign.
