Samuel Eto’o was entering the twilight years of his career when he joined Chelsea in 2013 as a stop-gap solution for their striker woes. He scored 12 goals in 35 games for the club including a memorable hat-trick against Manchester United.

The Cameroonian left Chelsea after just one season and spent the first half of the 2014/15 season with Everton before playing the second half of the season for Sampdoria.

After leaving Sampdoria, Eto’o moved to Turkey and played for Antalyaspor. He scored 44 times in 77 games for the Turkish club and even acted as interim player-manager for a month after the coach was sacked.

He left Antalyaspor halfway through the 2017/18 season to join fellow Super Lig club Konyaspor but he was released at the end of the season.

The 37-year-old didn’t hang up his boots in the summer, instead, he joined Qatar Sports Club in the Qatar Stars League.
