PSG eyeing Samuel Eto'o



Heavy rumors are coming out of the french capital with 31 year old striker Eto'o name on it. The ex Barcelona man is being pursued by PSG but there is doubt from the player himself.

Eto'o made a statement on his personal website assuring the Anzhi fans he will stay "The qualification for the Europe league, far from being an end in itself is, I hope, the beginning of a great adventure that will take us on top of European football".

With Samuel Eto'o recently making a move to Anzhi Makhachkala scoring 8 goals in 16 starts he might be making another summer transfer move to PSG where they have qualified to the most prestigious competition compared to Anzhi where they barely made it into the European league competition.

The Croatian Niko Kranjcar is eyeing a move away from White Hart Lanes




After spending 3 years at Tottenham Hotspurs he decided it's time to move on to other projects. Creating a name for himself at Portsmouth he went on to join the spurs instead of Everton in the summer of '09, saying "Everton is also a big club but, in the end, the tradition and greatness of Tottenham made the difference. I also knew manager Harry Redknapp, and Luka Modrić and Verdan Ćorluka told me great things about the club" 



In 2010 he had a run of 6 goals in 21 appearances for the club in 2010 before having to miss the rest of the season with an ankle ligament damage during the FA cup semi final match against Portsmouth. With the emergence Gareth Bale in the left wing it has been hard for the Croatian to get some playing time. Only making some appearances off the bench or when an injury occurred Niko was counted on. In April of 2012 due to a knee injury in the FA cup semi final match against Chelsea he was ruled out for the rest of the season.


The 27 year old still in the prime of his career is looking to get physically fit in time to take part in this year Euro cup and also looking for a move towards eastern Europe where Ukrainian club Dynamo Kiev is looking to make a double swoop for Niko and Corluka which are believed to be worth 10 million euros.
