The agent of Eidur Gudjohnsen has told Sport.co.uk in an exclusive interview that the former Chelsea and Barcelona star is keen to stay at Tottenham Hotspur next season amid speculation this morning that Aston Villa are interested in signing the Icelandic international.
Gudjohnsen, who has played for three Premier League clubs, Bolton, Chelsea, and Spurs, hasimpressed since moving on loan in January from French Ligue 1 side AS Monaco. However having finished his spell at White Hart Lane the Icelander's form has reportedly interested Martin O’Neill’s Aston Villa who has been tipped to challenge Harry Redknapp for the player's services next season.
The 32-year-old scored two goals on his loan spell with the North London club making 11 appearances, and was praised by Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp for his adept link up play. Despite the interest emanating from Aston Villa, and the prospect of joining up with the likes of Ashley Young, Gabriel Agbonlahor and Emile Heskey, Gudjohnsen's father and agent Arnor told sport.co.uk:
“Well it is difficult to make a clear comment at the moment. Firstly, they want to keep him [Eidur Gudjohnsen] at Tottenham Hotpsur. I saw the [Aston] Villa speculation but I haven’t heard from them to be honest.
“He has enjoyed it under the manager. It was difficult for Eidur to come in to the club in the middle of the season, so I think he would like to have a good pre-season with the club and then play a full season with the club.
“I don’t know exactly what type of deal Eidur would sign, I wouldn’t be surprised if it was a one-year loan deal. But you never know, this has not been decided.”
