Eto'o to seal Chelsea move as striker agrees £10m-a-year pay cut to rejoin Mourinho
Chelsea will sign Samuel Eto’o on a stunning £7million one-year deal on Thursday after admitting defeat in their pursuit of Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney.

Eto'o arrived at London's St Pancras station on Wednesday night and is due to have a medical at Chelsea’s Cobham training ground before finalising terms after his advisers held talks on Wednesday.
Chelsea coach Jose Mourinho, a confirmed Eto’o admirer, turned to his Plan B after United steadfastly refused to sell Rooney. -

Target: Mourinho didn't select any strikers at Old Trafford and the chase for Wayne Rooney seems to be over
NO OLDS BARRED AT CHELSEA
Chelsea have dabbled before with veteran forwards — and seen very mixed results . . .
George Weah
Africa’s greatest ever player arrived in 2000 from AC Milan, aged 33. He was rarely given a chance under Gianluca Vialli, despite scoring on his debut against Spurs.
VERDICT: Miss.

Gianfranco Zola
Came to London in 1996 at 30 years old and was a revelation. Turned out 312 times, scoring 80 goals, and earned the Bridge’s eternal respect.
VERDICT: Hit.

Gianluca Vialli
The 32-year-old rejected Rangers to sign for Ruud Gullit in 1996. It was £600,000 well spent. Vialli netted 40 goals in 78 games, then proved a successful manager.

Pop Robson
The Newcastle and West Ham legend joined Chelsea aged 36 in 1982. He scored on his debut, but added just two more goals as he combined playing with coaching.

Andriy Shevchenko
Milan mourned when Sheva left ahead of his 30th birthday for £30.8m. But Chelsea fans were soon feeling depressed too as the Ukrainian laboured to 22 goals in three miserable seasons.
