Eto’o who will be out of contract this summer has no intentions to sign a new deal at Stamford Bridge; the player wants to join London rivals Arsenal.
The Cameroon international still has the ability to score and fulfil the needs of Arsenal. Arsenal who are already in search for a striker might not be interested in Eto’o as Wenger never preferred a player over 30.
The Mirror stated:
“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.”
While on the other hand Frenhman Olivier Giroud is discussing his new terms with Arsenal according to Skysports.
