Barcelona striker Samuel Eto’o claims Tottenham and
Chelsea have both lodged formal interest in signing
him.
The Cameroon international looks destined to leave Catalunya
this summer with new Barca boss Josep Guardiola making it plain
that he does not feature in his plans for next season.
While his exit has long looked to be inevitable, Thursday’s news
that he was giving serious consideration to a move to Uzbekistani
side Kuruvchi came as somewhat more of a surprise.
However, the Tashkent outfit’s hopes of pulling off the coup to
end all coups look likely to be dashed following the revelation of
more serious courters.
“I have offers from Inter, Tottenham and Chelsea,” said
Eto’o.
Despite the player’s claims to the contrary, Barca maintain that
they have not yet received any formal proposal for the player.
