Chelsea Signs Cameroon Striker Samuel Eto'o
Chelsea have signed Cameroon 32-year-old striker Samuel Eto'o on a free transfer on a one-year-deal from Russian club Anzhi Makhachkala.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho was Eto's boss at Inter Milan when they won the Champions League in 2010.
"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," Eto'o said.
"I am very happy to be here but also anxious because I want to get playing as soon as possible."
Mourinho moved for Eto'o after two Chelsea bids for Manchester United's Wayne Rooney were rejected.
Four-time African Footballer of the Year Eto'o was a key part of Mourinho's Champions League-winning Inter side, and became the highest-paid player in the world when he moved to Anzhi in 2011.
The Russian club have also sold Brazil attacking midfielder Willian, 25, to Chelsea after their billionaire owner Suleyman Kerimov decided to significantly reduce the club's budget.
