Barcelona's Gudjohnsen rejects Premiership links

Eidur Gudjohnsen has not been in touch with any club about a move away from Barcelona, according to his agent father.

The Iceland striker, who left Chelsea for Barca last summer, recently expressed concern over a lack of opportunities at the Nou Camp and hinted he might be interested in joining Manchester United.

Newcastle have also been linked with the 28-year-old but Arnor Gudjohnsen said: "I've just heard a lot of rumours but I've not been in touch with any club."

He said: "They have bought Thierry Henry - that has been raising a lot of questions.

"It has raised questions not only about him (Gudjohnsen) but other players as well.

"He (Gudjohnsen) played in a team at Chelsea which had a lot of great players and always had to fight for his place.

"It's going to be the same at Barcelona. It doesn't matter who's coming or not coming.

"I can't see Thierry Henry and Samuel Eto'o playing 60 or 70 games. They're similar kinds of players.

"He is really determined. He's training really hard.

"He's just been there for one year now. He know how he's got to work. It can only get better.

"They (Barca) said 'if you're happy to stay, we're happy to have you here'."
