Eto'o snubs White Hart Lane move

Tue 10 Jun, 09:45 AM


Tottenham's hopes of signing Samuel Eto'o have been dashed after the Barcelona ace admitted he is looking for a bigger challenge.Eto'o insists he is happy to see out the remaining two years on his Barcelona contract, but he is expected to leave the Camp Nou this summer as new manager Pep Guardiola makes his mark on his inherited squad.

Tottenham are understood to have an interest in Eto'o as boss Juande Ramos prepares for the possible exit of star asset Dimitar Berbatov.

However, Cameroon striker Eto'o - who was on target for his country in their 2010 World Cup qualifying victory over Mauritius on Sunday - has ruled out the possibility of moving to White Hart Lane.

"Tottenham, and I hope the English fans will forgive me, are a club in mid-table and I need more," Eto'o told CRTV.

"I insist that I have a contract with Barcelona until 2010 and I feel great at the club."

However, Eto'o has hinted that he would be keen to join Jose Mourinho's revolution at Inter Milan.

Mourinho is ready to ring the changes at the Giuseppe Meazza this summer and, having attempted to sign Eto'o while in charge at Chelsea, the Portuguese could renew his interest.

"I cannot exclude the option of Inter, but I want to repeat that I still feel I am a Barcelona and that I feel under no pressure," Eto'o concluded.

  2. I would have though a real challenge would have been to go and take a mid table club to the top.

    I remember Maradona leaving Barcelona for Naples. That was a great challenge and he was up to it.

    Leaving Manchester for real madrid forexample is no Challenge. What are you gonna do there that had not been done before?
