There he scored 21 goals in the 1999/2000 season. The Wanderers reached the FA Cup semi-finals this season.

In the summer of 2000, Chelsea FC committed Eiður for a £ 4 million transfer fee. Here he formed one of the best striker duos in the club's history with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink . Both together scored 50 goals in the 2001/02 season (Hasselbaink 27, Eiður Guðjohnsen 23). After Roman Abramowitsch bought the club, Eiður remained a regular player despite strong competition ( Drogba , Kezman , Crespo ) and scored twelve goals for his team in the 2004/05 season and was the only player alongside Frank Lampard in all 38 championship games. In the 2005/06 season Eiður Guðjohnsen was used by coach José Mourinho mainly in midfield, but came only to 26 missions and scored only two goals. When Andrij Shevchenko moved to the London capital club in the summer of 2006 , he saw no prospects at Chelsea and moved to the Spanish Primera División for FC Barcelona. On his debut against Celta Vigo , he scored the decisive goal to make it 3-2 for Barcelona in the 87th minute.

For the 2009/10 season Eiður signed a two-year contract with AS Monaco . In January 2010, Tottenham Hotspur loaned him until the end of the season.
