Chelsea's Eto'o implores Song to depart Barcelona

Chelsea striker Samuel Eto'o believes Alex Song may need to leave Barcelona.

The Cameroonian midfielder joined the Catalan giants from Arsenal in 2012 but has struggled for regular game time since moving to the Camp Nou.

Song's compatriot Eto'o, who came to the Premier League in the summer, is of the belief that the former Gunners ace needs to exit Barcelona in order to get the most out of his career.

"Song has to leave Barca," Eto'o told beIN Sports.

"At his age, he must play and he could be in the starting XI at any big club."

Song has made just 33 La Liga appearances since joining Barcelona which has included just nine starts this season.
