Barcelona have Chelsea striker Gudjohnsen in sights


Barcelona are eyeing Chelsea striker Eidur Gudjohnsen.
The European champs are aware that Gudjohnsen is seeking a move away from Stamford Bridge and have penciled him in as an alternative to No1 striker target Diego Forlan, the Villarreal forward.
Barca president Joan Laporta met with coach Frank Rijkaard and sports chief Txiki Begiristain On Monday to discuss how they will replace Henrik Larsson over the summer.
Forlan is No1, but if Villarreal prove stubborn, Barca will seek talks with Chelsea over Iceland international Gudjohnsen.
