Chelsea complete the signing of Eto’o
Chelsea have completed the signing of former Barcelona and Inter Milan star Samuel Eto’o.
The Cameroon international, who arrives from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala on a free transfer, has signed a one-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
Eto’o, 32, established himself as a world-class forward during a five-year spell at Barca and then played under Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho in Italy.
He was a key part of Mourinho’s Champions League-winning Inter side in 2010 and became the highest-paid player in the world when he moved to Anzhi the following year.
Anzhi owner Suleyman Kerimov is now cutting costs and was keen to offload the player.
Mourinho moved to sign Eto’o after missing out on Wayne Rooney, who looks likely to stay at Manchester United.
