Top 10 transfer hijacks: Liverpool gazumped by Chelsea for Salah deal and more

Eidur Gudjohnsen
Winners: Tottenham Hotspur
Losers: West Ham United

In 2010, AS Monaco forward Eidur Gudjohnsen flew into Heathrow Airport to sign for West Ham United.

The Iceland international was greeted by Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp and chairman Daniel Levy, who convinced him to move to White Hart Lane instead.

Gudjohnsen wasn’t a roaring success for Spurs, and only scored one Premier League goal for the north Londoners – but it was a hugely important one.

His goal against Stoke City was crucial in earning Tottenham three points that helped earn them UEFA Champions League football the next season.

Without Gudjohnsen, West Ham finished in 17th.
