It appears that Samuel Eto’o is likely to remain with Anzhi Makhachkala for the remainder of the Russian championship. There were previous indications that the Dagestan club was looking to offload high salaries, and Eto’o had expressed interest in joining José Mourinho’s Chelsea.
The Portuguese coach, who enjoyed a successful collaboration with Eto’o in 2010, achieving a historic hat-trick, has expressed his happiness about the Cameroonian striker’s desire to reunite with him at Stamford Bridge. Mourinho stated, “I am happy that a player who has worked with me in the past wants to join me. Especially a player like Samuel…”
It remains to be seen how the transfer situation unfolds, but Mourinho’s positive response suggests that there might be a chance for Eto’o to join Chelsea.
