Spurs boss Glenn Hoddle watched Real Mallorca’s Samuel Eto’o on Sunday and was very impressed with him – according to the Cameroon star’s agent.
The former Real Madrid starlet has been watched by a whole host of scouts in recent weeks including Bolton, Leeds, Sunderland and Rangers and Spurs are the latest club on the 21-year-old’s trail, who moved to Majorca from the Bernabeu in June last year for £4.5million.
However, with Mallorca still not assured of their La Liga status going into the last game of the season this weekend, Eto’o, it seems, appears to be looking for a move away from the holiday island.
His agent Willie McKay told TEAMtalk: « The situation is Glenn Hoddle was at Madrid on Sunday and he was very impressed with Samuel Eto’o.
« Mallorca have a very important match on Friday to stay up and they are just one of five clubs that are very interested in signing him.
« Three or four Spanish clubs want to sign him and Atletico Madrid have offered him a big deal and Real Madrid want him back.
« He has a four years to run on his contract and he would prefer a move to the Premier League. »
Eto’o has been linked with a £7million move to White Hart Lane, but McKay is sure the striker – who is tipped to star in the World Cup – will command a larger fee than £7million.
« The fee will be more than £7million, he is 21 and he will be one of the best players in the World Cup and he is looking forward to playing England, » added McKay.
