Southampton boss Ronald Koeman admits he's a big fan of Everton veteran Samuel Eto'o.

The Dutchman was manager of Valencia when Cameroon legend Eto'o was in his pomp at Barcelona.

Saints boss Koeman, whose side have lost their last five games, said: "Eto'o is a great player, still fit and athletic.

"He has a lot of qualities because he played at the highest level at Barcelona and Inter Milan.

"He is a great teacher for young players because he cannot only talk, he can show it as well, which is the best way.

"It is always good to have those kind of players in your squad because they have experience. If we could have one of those kind of players I would."
