Liverpool's pursuit of Samuel Eto’o has been dealt a huge blow after it emerged that French police want to question him over allegations that he posted intimate pictures of his ex-girlfriend on the internet.

Reports in France claim that a Parisian judge has ruled there are grounds to investigate Eto’o, following a complaint made by Nathalie Koah.

She has accused the 33-year-old of “human trafficking, indecency, publishing obscene content, pimping, threats, blackmail and false declarations” after the acrimonious break-up of their relationship.

Ms Koah alleges that striker Eto’o posted intimate pictures of her on social networking sites – an offence that is taken extremely seriously in France.

Samuel Eto'o has been without a club since leaving Chelsea at the end of last season.
