West Ham is being awaited to take the final step in the Gudjohnsen transfer talks.


An official from West ham is raising concerns about Barca star, Eidur Gudjohnsen's injury and arguing the Icelandic star might not be ready to move to England just yet, until the injury heals. This comes amid rising interests from The Hammers for the Barcelona forward. Curbishley spoke about Gudjohnsen, saying:

Eidur Gudjohnsen is injured and has not recovered yet. He's battling to get fit, so there is nothing in it at the moment. He's still a Barcelona player. But the transfer window is still open, and we are still active. We're still short in one or two areas.

Talks however have not ended as a deal can still be reached. West ham also made a bid for another injured and talentd player from Derby, Giles Barnes, though this bid was outrighly rejected by the English side, Derby, who still have plans for youthful Barnes. The Derby player however is not in the star class of Barca's Eidur Gudjohnsen. A final decision on the Eidur move is expected from The Hammers soon.
