Premier League side Chelsea have announced the signing of Cameroon international Samuel Eto’o from Anzhi Makhachkala.
The 32-year-old striker has signed a one-year-deal at the English club after being sold by the Russian giants because of financial reasons.
In his past, Eto’o has played for some of the greatest teams in the world, including FC Barcelona and Inter Milan, where he worked with Jose Mourinho and he has admitted that the Portuguese manager is one of the reasons behind his move to Stamford Bridge.
Talking to the club’s website after completing the move, Eto’o said: ‘I am very happy to be here but also anxious because I want to get playing as soon as possible.
‘It wasn’t a hard decision. I saw the qualities Chelsea have, and I was very happy with Jose Mourinho before, so when the opportunity came, I was very happy to take it.’
