Stoke boss Pulis: Redknapp told me to snap up Gudjohnsen

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis admits he snapped up Eidur Gudjohnsen on the recommendation of Harry Redknapp.

Gudjohnsen completed a move from Monaco as part of a frantic last-minute signing spree by Pulis.

The ex-Chelsea star, 31, spent the second half of last season on loan at Redknapp's Tottenham and Pulis said: "Harry told me he is a top player. Had they not got four top-drawer strikers he would have taken him."
