Spurs head the race to sign Eto’o

Tottenham have now appeared to be favourites to land the signing of Barcelona supremo Samuel Eto'o

The Barcelona ace has endured months of speculation and is set for a move to the Premiership.

Due to the never-endeing specualtion surrounding Dimitar Berbatov and Robbie Keane's departures it has seemed increasingly likely that Tottenham will have the funds to table an increased bid for the Catalan star.

The Sun says Manchester United, Tottenham, Arsenal and Chelsea have all been linked with Eto'o.

yes i agree i think we should spend all our money that we get from kaboul, tainio, chimbonda, malbranque, keane and berbatoss on eto and arshavin, we should play a 4-5-1 formation with arshavin the attacking mid/str and eto up on his own and bent as a replacement incase of injury/fatigue

Fair team, except Ramos will be playing a 4 2 3 1 formation, so it won’t happen. I also think the Arshavin deal won’t happen as I’m convinced it’s all agent talk - he thought he would get a big pay day out of his player and all the deals have collapsed, mainly because he is 27, had one good season a good euros and is one of the most over rated players around.

The front 4 could well be gio, modric, bentley with eto’o in front. It’s the 2 behind I’m concerned about, hudd should be in but we need someone like Barry alongside him rather than old Didier my-next-second-touch-is-a-yellow or Jermain distinctly-average.

Capel would be a squad player with Lennon to add speed and attack on the wings if things get changed. Ramos prefers that with his full backs which is why a persuit of an out and out winger hasn’t happened
