New West Ham co-owner David Sullivan, who has recently publicly expressed the club’s desire to land a big-name striker before the transfer window closes, has confirmed former Chelsea and Barcelona man Eidur Gudjohnsen is being considered.

"I can confirm we have bid for McCarthy and I can also confirm we have been in contact with Monaco regarding a loan for Gudjohnsen," Sullivan told Soccernet. "Everybody tells me not to go for Gudjohnsen as he missed pre-season, but our manager, Franco Zola, rates him highly, and clearly so does Big Sam as it appears they have gone for him as well."

With Real Madrid outcast Ruud van Nistelrooy opting for Hamburg rather than a return to the Premier League, West Ham face an anxious week to secure a proven striker to bolster their attempts to remain out of the relegation zone.
