Samuel Eto'o Presents His Multimillion Fleet of Cars

Samuel Eto’o has made good use of his bumper salary by amassing a fleet of cars worth £4million.

The pick of the Chelsea FC striker’s fleet is the £1.55m Bugatti Veyron which was specially delivered along with three other vehicles to the London club’s training ground after his move from Russian club Anzhi this summer.

In addition to Veyron, Eto’o has spent big on a £1.25m Aston Martin One-77, according to The Sun. The Cameroon forward, 31, also snapped up a luxury Maybach Xenatec for a whopping £750,000 and an Aston Martin V12 Zagato for £450,000.

Eto’o has always been a fan of cars and even reportedly offered former Cameroon striker Roger Milla a Porsche as a Christmas present in 2010.

“I like to have a few cars because it gives me choice and it doesn’t hurt anybody. To give happiness, the first thing is to be happy oneself, and I am,” Samuel Eto’o once said.

Emenike faults NFF, Keshi for abandoning him

African Nations Cup star, Emmanuel Emenike has lashed out at Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi for using and dumping him after his long-term hamstring injury.

 Emenike top scored for champions Nigeria at the Nations Cup in South Africa, but suffered a hamstring injury against Mali which has already sidelined him for about four weeks now.

He was therefore left out of next weekend’s World Cup qualifier at home against Kenya.

He told MTNFootball.com he is disgusted not to have received even a phone call from Keshi or any official from the Nigeria Football Federation since he rejoined his Russian club Spartak Moscow.

“I must be honest with you, I have not been treated well by the coach and the NFF because they ignored me so soon, so fast,” he lamented.

“Nobody from the NFF and the coach had called to ask me about my injury. I am bitter about this. It is unfair and I can tell you that is why some players don’t come to give their best for the national team.”
