Samuel Eto'o wants to join Arsenal this summer - to prove Jose Mourinho wrong.
Eto’o’s representatives have made overtures to Arsenal to alert them about the Cameroon striker’s availability as a free agent. They have made it clear that Eto’o wants to go to the Emirates and that is his number one priority.
Arsenal are keen to strengthen their strike force and are close to a deal for Real Madrid starlet Alvaro Morata but the Spanish giants are insisting on a buy-back clause.
But Arsenal will need more than one striker and Eto’o, 33, could be an option after he was left enraged by Mourinho’s comments earlier in the season when he questioned his age in damning remarks about his strikers.
Mourinho was filmed by TV cameras making comments suggesting that he thought Eto’o was older than he actually is.
The former Chelsea striker mocked Mourinho with a goal celebration after the off-the-record remarks but last week called the Blues boss a “fool” and a “puppet” in a renewed attack.
