No Villa move for Gudjohnsen

Iceland international Eidur Gudjohnsen will not be heading to Aston Villa this summer, according to the Barcelona player's agent and father.
The 29-year-old former Chelsea and Bolton striker had been linked with a move to Villa Park after enduring two frustrating seasons at the Camp Nou.
He seems certain to be plying his trade elsewhere next season after starting only 33 games for Barca, but will not be joining Martin O'Neill's side.
Arnor Gudjohnsen told Sky Sports: "I've seen some speculation about Eidur and Aston Villa, but I don't think he was very keen on that.
"I think if he was to return to England he would prefer to go to London or Manchester rather than Birmingham.
"There are a few clubs interested, but there's nothing serious at the moment. I think he'll leave Barcelona and he's keeping his options open at present."
