Newcastle's hopes of signing Eidur Gudjohnsen from Chelsea have been dashed by his father, Arnar Gudjohnsen, who acts as his son's agent.

Arnar believes that the Iceland international is ready to fight for his place at Chelsea, and that the 25-year-old is flattered by the interest he has recieved - and will take this into account when considering a future move.

ARNAR SAID:

"I do not know of any negotiations but Eidur is in good form and that always brings interest, which Eidur is pleased to get.

"My son is happy at Chelsea at the moment and the contract that he signed this summer has three years left to run. He is not scared of having to fight in order to get into the team, but who knows what the future holds?"
