Eto'o wont go to Chelsea

Barcelona forward Samuel Eto'o has again played down reports linking him with a move to reigning Premiership champions Chelsea.

Blues coach Jose Mourinho made no secret of the fact that he wanted to sign the Cameroon international hitman during the course of last summer, when it appeared that Hernan Crespo will be remaining in Italy with AC Milan following a successful season-long loan spell.

But, a deal failed to materialise with Eto'o stressing that he was happy to remain in Spain with the Catalan giants, but this has not stopped a fresh bout of speculation from surfacing.

The player, who scored a hat-trick for his country against Angola in the 3-1 African Cup of Nations win on Saturday, has again played down the link has vowed to concentrate on Cameroon's cup campaign.
