Samuel Eto'o is set on leaving Anzhi. Russian tycoon Suleyman Kerimov and club owner put his entire squad up for sale and the first to leave could be the Cameroon striker. Eto'o seems keen on a move to Chelsea and the chance to work again under manager José Mourinho, who he was coached by at Inter Milan.

The 32-year-old striker was quick to praise the Portuguese: "There is only one Jose Mourinho. I have played under a lot of great coaches but there is no other character in the game like Jose. I would like to have the chance to play under him again - because it is never boring when Jose is around".

Eto'o, who has also attracted the attention of Napoli, denied that the Italian club had made an offer for him: "They haven't contacted us. Chelsea is a great club and when the offers are on the table we'll decide".

If Wayne Rooney does not end up signing for Chelsea, Eto'o could become Mourinho's new front-man. However, the Premier League kicks off in under a week and things must move quickly.
