Chelsea signing Eto'o thrilled to finally make Premier League move

Chelsea signing Samuel Eto'o is delighted to have finally made the move to England.

The former Anzhi striker signed for Chelsea yesterday.

He told chelseafc.com: "I've had a couple of opportunities to come to England before, including the first time Jose was here, but it didn't work out for one reason or another. Since that time, I have had a career where I have been lucky enough to win a lot of trophies in different countries, but one of my last dreams as a professional is to come and play in England and see if I can have the same success as in my previous clubs. I don't see it as a final challenge, but to have a good time, enjoy my football, and have success with this team.

"The first thing I need to do is adapt myself as quickly as possible to the team. I want to try and enjoy the football as much as possible and I feel if I am doing that, everybody watching will enjoy watching me."
