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.

"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.
