The Cameroon international hasn't had his best season - despite a decent scoring rate - and has recently become frustrated not only with Barcelona's failure to win silverware for the second season in a row, but treatment from the fans.
Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the player, and he has revealed that he would enjoy playing in the Premier League. The timing of this statement is quite ominous, and the former Real Mallorca and Real Madrid man may well be making a move this summer.
“The Premier League is very good,” Eto’o told Sky Sports.
“The English league is of a very high standard and to play there would be fantastic.
“I would love to be the top-scorer there because I am a top level player and I can play well in any country.”
Reports in Italy suggested that Juventus were willing to do a swap deal with Barcelona and offer the Camp Nou side David Trezeguet plus cash for Eto’o.
However, it seems as if the La Liga striker has his eyes set firmly on the Premier League should he leave Spain.
The Blaugrana have had a poor season, and new manager Josep Guardiola is looking to rebuild this summer. That, of course, will involve keeping key players and allowing others to leave. Where Eto'o finds himself amidst this madness remains to be seen.
