Anzhi Makhachkala striker Samuel Eto'o has admitted he would love to link up with Jose Mourinho yet again amid reports linking the Cameroon international with a move to Chelsea.
Eto'o is amongst the players thought to have been made available for transfer by Anzhi as they look to cut their wage bill and spending.
The experienced striker enjoyed a fruitful spell under Mourinho at Inter Milan, and would be happy to play under the Portuguese again.
"There is only one Jose Mourinho," Eto'o is quoted as saying by the Daily Mirror. "I have played under a lot of great coaches -- but there is no other character in the game like Jose.
"He is one of the best coaches in the world and we had a lot of success together at Inter Milan. I would like to have the chance to play under him again, because it is never boring when Jose is around.
"Of course Chelsea are a great team, and when we have all the offers on the table then I will discuss with my agent and see what my next step is."
Eto'o is thought to be the fallback option to Wayne Rooney, if Mourinho fails in his bid to land the England international from Manchester United.
United legend Gary Neville believes United would be "mad" to sell Rooney to Chelsea this summer. "Manchester United, at this moment in time, would be mad to sell him," he is quoted as saying by the Daily Mail. "Along with Robin Van Persie, he has been the most successful player in terms of goals and assists in the last five years of the Premier League.
"Even last year, which you could argue was a year he was below his best, but he was playing in midfield, playing right side, left side, he still had 22 goals and assists.
"He is a massive contributor to games and you can't replace personalities. There are very few personalities in football now, big personalities, fighters, he is one of them.
"You can't just buy them, you might argue you could replace them in respect of the numbers he creates but in terms of personality, what he brings, very difficult to replace him.
"I could argue in the last eight years, he has been the most important player in the Premier League. Why would I be over the top by stating that?
"He is one of the most successful players in the last eight years, won the most championships in that period, been an ever present, played in every single game nearly every season.
"Scoring 20 plus goals in most of them, assisting, fighting for every single ball in every single game. The evidence is there -- they don't grow on trees Wayne Rooneys."
