After weeks of speculation, Chelsea have reportedly signed Samuel Eto’o from Anzhi Makhachkala on a free transfer.

Speaking at a press conference shortly after his unveiling at Stamford Bridge, the Cameroon international 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.’

The 32-year-old, holding the reputation for scoring in all kinds of competitions, has a lot to offer in terms of his experience and expertise as a striker.
