Pfister said: ‘I do not know why Barca want to let him go. It's incomprehensible!

‘ No, no. He is the best striker in the world and can choose between Chelsea, Arsenal and Inter.’

Manchester United are also among Eto'o's admirers.

They are looking for a different style of player but that could change if Cristiano Ronaldo pushes for his move to Real Madrid.
