The 34-year-old has hit the ground running at Antalyaspor scoring five goals in his first five games.

The Cameroon international has previously played for Chelsea, Anzhi, Inter and Barcelona. Eto’o has won everything from the La Liga to the Serie A and two Champions League trophies. The prolific striker was also part of the Chelsea side that finished the 2013 Europa League as runners-up.
