Samuel Eto'o has continued to hint that his long-term future lies way from the Russian league, implying that he might end up at Chelsea in the coming years.

Eto'o was rising to prominence at Mallorca when then-Blues boss Claudio Ranieri attempted to bring the striker to Stamford Bridge.

So the Italian press, including La Gazetta dello Sport (who published this photo of Samuel Eto'o in his Ferrari... oooh!) are all rubbing their hands over the prospect of the striker returning to Milan for a brief spell. Well, obviously he's not going to ditch his lavish private jet and everything that comes with playing for Russian Cha-cha-millionaires Anzhi in exchange for dreary, boring mozzarella cheese (kkk, quite the contrary actually).

So the new Serie A season is upon us once more. So far the typical clichés have proven to be incorrect. The age old stereotype of Italian defences being impenetrable was shattered with 37 goals being scored in the opening weekend. Much focus was placed upon Gian Piero Gasperini's favoured 3-4-3 system and how this would allow Internazionale to regain their Serie A crown, from bitter city rivals.

Samuel Eto'o may have only been an Inter player for two seasons, but the legacy he leaves behind will never be forgotten. "The Lion King" came to Inter in the summer of 2009, as somewhat of an afterthought in the blockbuster Zlatan Ibrahimovic to Barcelona deal.
