Hammers Boss In Hunt For Former Team-Mate

Posted on 29. Sep, 2008 by Milox in Premiership

Gianfranco Zola wants to link up with former Chelsea team-mate Eidur Gudjohnsen by bringing the forward to Upton Park from Barcelona, according to reports.

The People claims the Italian manager will make a move for Gudjohnsen in the January transfer window, despite the Icelandic international committing his future to the Nou Camp as recently as today.

But, if reports are to be believed, Zola will try and convince the versatile 30-year-old to return to the Premier League to aid the Hammers quest for a UEFA Cup place.

Gudjohnsen scored 54 goals in 184 games for Chelsea and struck up a fruitful partnership with Zola during his time at Stamford Bridge before heading to Catalonia two years ago.
