Barcelona forward Eidur Gudjohnsen has admitted that he expects to leave the club and has stated that England is his most likely destination.
The Icelandic international has been tipped to depart the Camp Nou this summer and, speaking to the Sunday Mirror, he revealed that a number of Premier League clubs had expressed an interest in signing him.
“Without blowing my own trumpet, I think returning to England is probably inevitable,” he said.
“There is a lot of interest from the Premier League. I had a great time in England and I know the game inside out. I'm well known in England and enjoyed great success there.”
Gudjohnsen spent eight years in England with Bolton Wanderers and Chelsea, before moving to Barcelona and he admitted it would be easy for him to return.
“People know my experience, know I will adapt easy to the football,” he explained.
“Of course, it would be very easy to move back to England. I'll take the summer to look at the bigger picture and in the end my decision will be based on football reasons, nothing else.”
The forward is set for talks with Barcelona next week and he didn’t rule out staying with the Catalan side for one more season.
“To be part of a club like Barcelona is a privilege,” said the former Chelsea man.
“And who knows, I might enjoy it for one more year.
“It's difficult to leave a club like Barcelona. My young boys are playing for the Barcelona academy.”
Yet the forward admitted that any decision he did make would be based purely on footballing reasons.
“My focus stays on the football, though, and it has to be about football,” he added.
“I still have ambition. I still have a lot of football in me. If the manager tells me next season I will get even less opportunities then I will look for another option".
