According to the UK’s Daily Mirror, Icelandic footballer Eidur Smári Gudjohnsen can be bought for GBP 8 million [USD 15 million], the Morgunbladid online edition reports. The Mirror reports that Gudjohnsen is currently at the top of the wish list of European champions Barcelona, as they have been unable to procure the services of Thierry Henry or Diego Forlan. Other European football clubs that are said to be keen to buy Gudjohnsen are Arsenal, Tottenham, Real Madrid, Newcastle, Blackburn and Atletico Madrid.
Football club Chelsea bought Gudjohnsen from Bolton in 2000 for some USD 6.3 million.
