Anzhi star Samuel Eto'o has ruled out a quickfire return to Inter Milan.

There have been rumours of a possible short-term loan switch back to San Siro in the New Year.

''I am enjoying myself at Anzhi Makhachkala and football is taking big steps here in Russia," he told the Gazzetta dello Sport.

''Inter was a splendid time in my career and the Nerazzurri will remain in my heart - there is no doubt about that. However, that is in the past now."
