Arsenal Looking To Sign Ex-Chelsea Striker

Arsenal Looking To Sign Ex-Chelsea Striker

Arsenal might help Eto’o fulfill his prediction where he insisted he will continue fighting for both the Champions League and the Premier League despite leaving Chelsea. The Cameroonian who left the Blues at the end of last season might get a last chance to perform at the highest level possible. With Bendtner out and with few attacking prospects, Arsenal might bring in the 33 year old who managed some excellent performances while playing under Mourinho.

Wenger will have some competition though in signing Eto’o. According to the Daily Express, Everton are also interested in bringing in the Cameroonian international who is getting ready for what will probably be his last World Cup tournament. Even though Arsenal have always been a more youngster oriented club, Eto’o’s experience might come in handy during tough moments.


The problem with Eto’o is that he will more than likely want to be part of a team’s starting eleven. That is close to impossible at Emirates considering Giroud’s excellent form and also Arsenal’s playing style. Everton have the upper hand here especially with Lukaku returning to Stamford Bridge and leaving a massive hole in the Toffees attacking line. It seems that things are once again complicated for the Gunners who had trouble bringing in players who have already made a name for themselves. Ozil was a quite pleasant and unexpected exception apparently as none of the strikers targeted by Wenger seem certain of a future collaboration with the North Londoners.
