Samuel Eto'o says he treasures his time with Everton.

The Cameroon great only spent six months with the Blues.

But he told the club's website: “Honestly, signing for Everton was one of the best decisions I've ever taken.

“I had other offers, I spoke with Liverpool and other teams had been talking with me.

“But when I spoke with the Everton manager [Roberto Martinez], everything changed, and I didn't look at any of the other offers I had.

“When I met him, I immediately fell in love with Everton. I was excited by his plans for the club and his ideas on the game... that is what took me to Everton."
