Villa line up £10 million Barca and Arsenal duo
Aston Villa are set to make an approach for Barcelona striker, Eidur Gudjohnsen and Arsenal full back Justin Hoyte according to reports in the Daily Star today.
Gudjohnsen joined the La Liga side in 2006 from Chelsea but has struggled slightly to get his place in the starting eleven ever since. With the presence of Eto'o, Ronaldinho, Messi and now three Barca new boys in Giovani, Bojan and Henry, the Icelandic striker has been forced to play a midfield role at the club, but only when Xavi and Iniesta are out.
The 29 year old has been linked with a move back to the Premier League and it appears as though the rumours may just come through this January. After his goal scoring ability which he displayed at Chelsea I'm not surprised about hearing him being linked back to the Premier League. There are other names being mentioned in relation to Gudjohnsen such as; City, Newcastle and West Ham.
Hoyte, 23, has found it hard to secure a starting place at Arsenal but a move to Villa Park for the former England U21 international may just be the answer to his lack of game time at Arsenal. It is thought that the duo will cost around £10 million for Martin O'Neill's side.
