Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp wants to sign Monaco striker Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan, but believes he is set to join West Ham until the end of the season.

Redknapp said on Tuesday that the Iceland international was available on a good deal, with Monaco paying part of his wages.

Redknapp said he spoke to the 31-year-old Gudjohnsen's agent earlier Tuesday, but the player was heading to West Ham so he left matters with Spurs chairman Daniel Levy.

"I would take him on loan, he would be a good loan signing," Redknapp said. "He can play in different systems and can hold the ball, but I think he's going to West Ham."

Gudjohnsen left Barcelona at the end of last season, three years after joining from Chelsea for eight million pounds (then $16 million) on a four-year deal.
