Corriere dello Sport says both Premiership clubs have a clear advantage over rivals AC Milan as Eto'o would prefer to move to London if he must leave Barca this summer.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho rates Eto'o highly, but may stand aside and allow Arsenal to have a clear run at the Cameroon star as he won't consider losing Didier Drogba - and potentially Eto'o - for next year's African Nations Cup.
