Etoo completes Inter move following medical
Samuel Etoo passed his medical with Inter Milan on Monday and was set to sign a five-year contract with the Italian champion.
The Cameroon striker is moving to Italy from Barcelona in a deal that saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic join the Spanish club in exchange for Etoo and ?40 million (US$57 million).
I made history at Barcelona, but that chapter is over, Etoo said on the clubs Web site. At Inter I am starting a new chapter and starting from zero. I am happy with this new adventure and hope everything goes well.
I won a lot at Barcelona and now I hope to do so in these colors.
In his time at Camp Nou the 28 year-old Etoo helped Barcelona win the Champions League twice and scored in both finals.
While coach Jose Mourinho was brought in a year ago with the goal of helping Inter win its first European Cup since 1965, Etoo warned his new club not to focus too much on the Champions League.
I know that Inter is desperate to win the Champions League, but you cant only think about that cup, he said. Because if you are too focused on the Champions League, you forget about the other competitions and then you run the risk of being knocked out of European competition.
You need to take it match by match and treat them all as a final.
