Gudjohnsen failed to secure a regular first-team place at the Nou Camp last season and the signing of Arsenal's Thierry Henry is set to push him even further down the pecking order.

West Ham manager Alan Curbishley is keen to sign another big name forward before the season gets underway as Carlos Tevez remains determined to move to Manchester United.

Gudjohnsen's father and agent, Arnor, says Eidur is currently recovering from a knee injury, but is weighing up all his options and would relish a move to West Ham as they are owned by Icelandic tycoon Eggert Magnusson.

Gudjohnsen senior said: "I have heard about the interest from West Ham, but there have been no talks as yet.

"It would be something Eidur would consider as there are some Icelanders there with the owners and all. If they are interested in Eidur, I am sure they will contact me.

"He is currently injured and he is focused on getting fit again, but he will consider all options open to him.

"Barcelona have always told him it is up to him what he wants to do and they will not stand in his way if he wants to go and they will be happy for him if he wants to stay.

"Eidur will not rush a decision on his future and we will evaluate every option we have."

Curbishley is also keen on Newcastle's unsettled midfielder Kieron Dyer and Reading full back Nicky Shorey.
