Fulham have confirmed that forward Eidur Gudjohnsen has signed for the club on loan from Stoke City until the end of the season.
Gudjohnsen, 32, joined Stoke on a free transfer from Monaco at the start of the season but has been restricted to just four substitute appearances in the Premier League.
Now the former Barcelona, Chelsea and Bolton man will spend the remainder of the campaign with Mark Hughes' side at Craven Cottage.
Fulham statement
Fulham Football Club is delighted to confirm the signing of Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan from Stoke City until the end of the season.
The Iceland international brings with him a reputation for being an outstanding technical player with a high degree of tactical awareness, versatility and an eye for goal.
Gudjohnsen has won a glittering array of honours with two Premier League titles, one La Liga title, the Eredivisie title, the Copa del Rey and UEFA Champions League being the most notable.
Gudjohnsen started his career at Valur Reykjavik before spells at both PSV Eindhoven and KR Reykjavik. But it was after he joined Bolton Wanderers in 1998 that he stepped into the limelight. Between 1998 and 2000 he made 55 appearances for the Trotters, scoring 18 times and catching the eye with some outstanding performances.
A move to Chelsea followed - Gudjohnsen spent six seasons at Stamford Bridge before signing for Spanish giants FC Barcelona.
In August 2009 he joined Monaco on a two-year deal. He remained at the Stade Louis II until January 2010 when he was loaned to Tottenham Hotspur for the remainder of the 2009/10 season. Gudjohnsen moved to Stoke City in August 2010.
"It has been an incredibly frustrating time for Eidur," Tony Pulis told Stoke's official website. "But he has been an outstanding professional and a great influence around the place in his time here.
"Unfortunately, he didn't get the games that he needed to build up his match fitness, but this loan move presents him with a chance to do that."
Gudjohnsen is out of contract at the end of the season so his time at Stoke has effectively come to an end.
