Tottenham signing Gudjohnsen: I was right to reject West Ham

Tottenham signing Eidur Gudjohnsen has no regrets turning his back on West Ham United.

The Monaco striker's decision to join Spurs on-loan has tested his friendship with Hammers boss Gianfranco Zola.

But Guddy said: “I had two options financially and this was the choice I made.

“I want to show I made the right decision and help us move up the table. This is a very exciting squad. Harry (Redknapp) is a big character and the turnaround since he ­arrived is fantastic.

“I’m very grateful I’m back in the Premier League. In France it was different not having fans at games and not having passion for football. It didn’t fit with me.”
