Sky Sports News understands Eidur Gudjohnsen has undergone a medical at West Ham United, but Tottenham Hotspur are also keen on the Monaco forward.
Gudjohnsen only moved to Monaco from Barcelona during the summer transfer window, but is being lined up for a January return to the Premier League.
The former Bolton and Chelsea ace has been linked with several clubs, including Blackburn Rovers, who are managed by his former Trotters boss Sam Allardyce.
However, struggling West Ham currently appear to be in pole position to bring the Iceland international back to English football.The 31-year-old has been put through the first stage of a medical by the Hammers, although he has yet to agree personal terms to secure a switch to Upton Park.

West Ham are set to sign South African striker Benni McCarthy after agreeing an undisclosed fee with Blackburn.
The 32-year-old, who has only started nine games this season, is now set to discuss personal terms with the club.
But Rovers boss Sam Allardyce labelled McCarthy “selfish” for missing training in an effort to force through the move.And Rovers boss Allardyce has done little to hide his disgust at McCarthy’s efforts to force a move to the Londoners, telling BBC Radio Lancashire: “The only loyalty a player has got is to himself. That’s not just Benni, that’s all players today.
“It’s more about a selfish attitude that they have. If something comes their way that they think they must have, they try their very best to go and get it.” (BBC Sport)
What a difference a couple of weeks makes. West Ham were severely hampered by financial insecurity and it seemed likely that Gianfranco Zola would be having to offload one of his top notch players to stave off a meltdown and then along came David Gold and David Sullivan and now the club has some cash to spend on a much needed squad revamp.
These two players represent good quality business. Two players with vast experience at the Premier League level and beyond and both are looking for new challenges and both can be picked up relatively cheaply and whilst both may be the wrong side of 30 they are still pretty fit players. Rumour has it that both can be brought in for a combined fee of around £9m and that would represent real value and help the Upton Park side steer clear of a relegation battle.
