GUDJOHNSEN FRENCH RUMOURS REJECTED

EXCLUSIVE
Eidur Gudjohnsen´s father and agent, Arnor, has rejected reports that the Chelsea striker could leave Stamford Bridge during this month´s transfer window.
The 25-year-old´s future has been the subject of intense speculation since last summer due to the striking competition at Chelsea.
The Icelandic international has, most recently, been linked with a shock move to French outfit Bordeaux in both the French and English media.
Bordeaux are reported to have made enquiries for the former Bolton Wanderers forward, but Gudjohnsen Senior insists there is nothing in it and that the player is concentrating on helping Chelsea to success this season.
" There is nothing to it," Gudjohnsen told skysports.com, in response to the Bordeaux link.
" I have heard about it and read something about it in the newspaper, but there is nothing happening."
With Chelsea almost certain to bring in new strikers in preparation for next season there is sure to be more speculation regarding Gudjohnsen´s long-term future in West London.
Gudjohnsen´s father expects more transfer talk next summer and admits, although Eidur is happy at Chelsea, the club may decide to sell him.
" You never know what can happen in football," added Gudjohnsen. " Chelsea are still a new club and they may want to change things.
" Like in every situation in life, you never know what is going to happen, but, if Eidur is playing and scoring goals, he is more than happy to stay at Chelsea."
