Eto’o is one of the greatest African players ever to have graced the game, and while Chelsea were not lucky enough to have the peak years of his career, his 2013/14 campaign was memorable nonetheless.
The Cameroon legend still possessed the finishing ability which made him such a threat at both Barcelona and Inter Milan, while also having an excellent understanding with talisman Eden Hazard.
Signed on a free transfer, his nine goals in 21 Premier League appearances were a welcome contribution in a time where Chelsea lacked a real focal point in attack. No offence, Fernando.
We wish Eto’o all the best in life post-football, and hope that he gets a chance to stop by Stamford Bridge and support his former employers now that he has more free time on his hands.
