Eidur plays down transfer talk

Premiership clubs hoping to lure Eidur Gudjohnsen back to England face a fight after the Barcelona forward claimed he is only interested in helping the Catalan side retain their Spanish league title.
Manchester United and Newcastle have been linked with summer moves for the former Chelsea and Bolton marksman, but Gudjohnsen insists he is happy at the Camp Nou.
The 28-year-old left Stamford Bridge for Barcelona last season in an £8million transfer but has been restricted to mainly substitute appearances in Spain.
"I have no regrets about coming here and I am not the slightest bit interested in what anyone says or writes about whether I am staying or not when the season finishes. I am only thinking about the last four games," Gudjohnsen told the club's official website.
"My future does not concern me right now.
"I am only thinking about trying to win the 12 points that are left so that we can be champions.
"Nobody from the club has made contact with me or my (agent) father and I have a contract with FC Barcelona for next season."
The Iceland international made over 260 appearances for Chelsea during six seasons with the Blues.
