Eidur Gudjohnsen is a transfer option for Barcelona as they bid to replace Henrik Larsson.

Villarreal's former Manchester United hitman Diego Forlan is the number one target for the newly crowned European champs as they look for Larsson's successor.

But if that deal doesn't come off Chelsea's Icelandic international ace Gudjohnsen will be the next option.

According to Spanish daily Marca, Gudjohnsen is one of the names put forward by Barca coach Frank Rijkaard.

He has already been linked with Manchester United in the last few days, as part of a possible swap deal for Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Marca says Rijkaard met with Barcelona chiefs on Monday to plan for next season.

And with Larsson returning home to Sweden and Maxi Lopez also unlikely to be at the Nou Camp next season, the need for a new striker is clear.

Other possible targets are Real Zaragoza's Diego Milito as well as Juventus duo David Trezeguet and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Holland striker Dirk Kuyt is "dreaming" of a move to Newcastle.

The 25-year-old Feyenoord player is set to be a key part of the Dutch line-up in next month's World Cup and has been linked with a move to the Magpies.

Kuyt has made no secret of the fact he wants a move to England ahead of Italy.

He said: "I would love to play in the north-east. When I was young I loved Italian football. But only because (Dutch trio Marco) van Basten, (Frank) Rijkaard and (Ruud) Gullit were playing for AC Milan.

"Now I'd rather play in England. I love English football. I also think my style of play is completely right for the Premiership. A club like Newcastle would be my dream."
