Tottenham Hotspur have beaten off competition from West Ham United to sign the Monaco striker Eidur Gudjohnsen on loan until the end of the season.

The 31-year-old former Chelsea and Barcelona forward had a medical at Upton Park only to have a late change of heart when he learned of Spurs' interest.

Meanwhile, Mexico international Dos Santos Giovani has sealed his loan switch from White Hart Lane to Galatasaray until the end of the season.

The 20-year-old was signed by former Spurs boss Juande Ramos in the summer of 2008 from Barcelona but has struggled to establish himself at White Hart Lane.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle has confirmed that he is continuing to hold talks with Arsenal about a possible loan move to the Reebok Stadium for Jack Wilshere.

When he was the manager of Burnley, now one of the online favourites to be relegated this season, Coyle had attempted to bring the teenager to Turf Moor on a temporary arrangement until the end of the season and remains keen to tie up a similar deal with his new club.

Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker may not play again until April after suffering a stress fracture to his ankle in training.

Scans have confirmed that the former West Ham United man's injury will keep him sidelined for three months, meaning he will miss a large chunk of Villa's attempts to clinch a top-four spot in the Premier League this season.

Burnley manager Brian Laws is waiting to hear from Portsmouth after deciding to extend David Nugent's loan stay at Turf Moor until the end of the season.

Pompey now have to decide whether to honour their agreement, or sell the striker to another club.

Meanwhile, Laws has admitted that he is interested in signing Celtic's Danny Fox but the left-back is not his only target.

The 23-year-old moved to Glasgow from Coventry City last summer and has made 24 appearances for the Bhoys so far this term.

Sunderland's injury woes show no sign of abating after both Lee Cattermole and Kieran Richardson limped out of Wednesday's 2-0 defeat at Everton.

Former Middlesbrough and Wigan Athletic midfielder Cattermole, who was playing in his first game for more than a month, had to be substituted at half-time, while Richardson came off midway through the first half.
