Chelsea will sign Samuel Eto’o on a stunning £7million one-year deal on
Thursday after admitting defeat in their pursuit of Manchester United striker
Wayne Rooney.
Eto’o, the 32-year-old Cameroon forward, is taking a huge pay cut from the
£17m a year that made him the world’s best paid footballer at Anzhi Makhachkala
and will sign on a free transfer. However, Anzhi are understood to have sweetened the deal by giving Eto’o a
multi-million-pound lump sum to get him off their wage bill.
He arrived at London's St Pancras station on Wednesday night, where he was
pictured with super-agent Pini Zahavi, and is due to have a medical at
Chelsea’s Cobham training ground before finalising terms after his advisers
held talks. Chelsea
coach Jose Mourinho, a confirmed Eto’o admirer, turned to his Plan B after
United refused to sell Rooney.
