Jose Mourinho has spoken very highly of Eidur during his short spell in charge of the club, and he has backed up his words with a lucrative new contract for the Icelandic striker.

Eidur's father, and agent, revealed: "He is very pleased and I'm sure the club are also.

"He knows the club and he likes it. The new trainer likes him and he would love the club to win trophies.''

As for the new coaching regime, Gudjohnsen Snr added, "He says it is fantastic. It is a different set-up than he is used to but he likes it.''
