Samuel Eto'o could be on the move in the summer.

Q: Hi there Patrick, I am a fan of Samuel Eto'o and I live in Cameroon. Recently Cesc Fabregas, who for me is the best player in the world, declared that Eto'o is the one player he dreams of playing alongside and urged Arsene Wenger to sign the Barcelona superstar. Do you see Eto'o moving to Arsenal or Cesc moving to Barcelona? What do you think about Eto'o's future? Last year there were rumors of Eto'o moving to Milan? Do you think Milan may still bid for the striker?

Q: The immense talents of Eto'o are not and have never been in question but I can certainly see why he can be a huge source of frustration to fans of Barcelona and also the entire coaching staff at the Catalan club.

That said, I agree with you he would certainly be sought after were he to become available this close season and that's now a distinct possibility given that there's sure to be a big shake-up at the Camp Nou in the coming weeks. I think a lot depends on whether or not there'll be a new coach in place come the start of next season.

I don't agree with you on your assessment however on the talented Fabregas. He's got huge potential and has already made quite an impression since he burst onto the scene two years ago but has some way to go before becoming the best in the world in his position. He's certainly on the right track though!

The Milan situation is interesting too. Their disappointment in the Champions League this year and an extremely poor Serie A campaign by their standards casts doubts on the future of coach Carlo Ancelotti according to some of his critics so again any transfers into and out of the San Siro will likely be down to that particular situation.
