Bolton consider former striker Gudjohnsen return

Bolton Wanderers boss Neil Lennon says the Championship club are considering whether to offer Eidur Gudjohnsen a contract. Gudjohnsen spent two years at Bolton between 1998 and 2000 before moving to Chelsea and then Barcelona.

The 36 year old Iceland international has been training with the Wanderers after his release by Belgian side Club Brugge.

"He asked us would we take him in and have a good look at him, so that's what we're doing at the minute," ex-Celtic manager Lennon told BBC Radio 5 live.

"He's always been a class player. You don't play for Barcelona for three or four seasons without being a really good player."

"He wants to give it another go," added Lennon. "Iceland are going well and he'd like the opportunity to play for Iceland again."
