• David Sullivan admits loan deal may have fallen through
• Reports of last minute rival bid by Harry Redknapp

West Ham United’s owner David Sullivan has admitted he fears his attempt to sign Monaco’s Eidur Gudjohnsen may have fallen through amid reports of a rival offer from Tottenham Hotspur.

Sullivan is reported to have agreed a £1m deal to take the former Chelsea striker on loan for the rest of the season but he told ESPN that he fears Harry Redknapp and his Spurs chairman Daniel Levy have made a rival offer.

Sullivan said: “We thought we had him, but I am worried that he has ‘ducked’ on us. I am chasing it up as we speak.”
