Chelsea legend’s son is Europe’s most lethal striker with conversion rate DOUBLE Haaland and 10 goals from 20 shots

EIDUR GUDJOHNSEN was a two-time Premier League champion with Chelsea – and now his son is making waves in the EFL.

Andri Gudjohnsen grabbed the opener as Blackburn notched a shock 2-1 win over West Ham on Saturday.

The Icelandic striker, 24, continued his stunning start to the Championship campaign by nodding home Jayden Fevrier’s teasing cross early in the second half.

And finding the back of the net sensationally resulted in Gudjohnsen becoming the deadliest marksman in Europe.

The former Real Madrid youngster, who has been told by Blackburn chief Tony Mowbray that Barcelona could come calling in the transfer window, has now scored ten goals from just 20 shots this season.

It means Gudjohnsen has a 50 per cent conversion rate – which is a better figure than a host of big-money icons.

Barcelona splashed out £57million to land Raphinha from Leeds four years ago.

But the Brazilian has an eight per cent worse output than Gudjohnsen as he prepares to lock horns with Atletico Madrid tonight.

Joao Pedro has got his name on the scoresheet five times in six Premier League outings this season.

And the Chelsea frontman, who has been nursing a thigh injury ahead of the international break, still has a worse conversion rate.

Infographic ranking conversion rates this season: Andri Gudjohnsen leads with 50%, followed by Raphinha (42%), Joao Pedro (31%), Alexander Isak (27%), Erling Haaland (26%), Kylian Mbappe (20%), and Harry Kane (9%).

Alexander Isak became the most expensive signing in British history when he swapped Newcastle for Liverpool in a blockbuster deal last year.

But the Swede has found the net with just 27 per cent of his shots since the campaign got underway.

Erling Haaland’s conversation rate is DOUBLED by Gudjohnsen after failing to find a way past Nottingham Forest in Manchester City’s 3-1 defeat yesterday.

That left the Norwegian even further back in the list of Europe’s most lethal finishers, despite still having a better record than Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.

Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane has a NINE PER CENT conversion rate despite being Bayern Munich’s dangerman.

Gudjohnsen put Blackburn on track for three points against West Ham before Dapo Afolayan haunted his former club by doubling Rovers’ lead.

And Hammers fans were raging after seeing their side go four showdowns without a win despite Joel Piroe’s late consolation strike.

Ewood Park goal-getter Gudjohnsen’s dad Eidur, 48, is still remembered as a Chelsea legend.

He was on target 78 times and registered a further 41 assists in 263 outings for the West Londoners.

Eidur also featured for the likes of Bolton, Barcelona, Monaco, Tottenham, Stoke and Fulham before hanging up his boots a decade ago.
