Manchester City are still in the hunt for Samuel Eto’o – and Carlos Tevez remains on Mark Hughes’ radar.
Hughes has already landed
Gareth Barry and
Roque Santa Cruz, but the City boss is still looking to boost his squad.
It’s not quite in the same league as Real Madrid, who have splashed out the best part of £200m on Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka and Karim Benzema.
But City are determined to score a few bonus points by signing Eto’o, and Hughes says: “He is a world star and a European Cup winner, the type that scores you 23 goals a season.
"With those types of player you know exactly what you will get - quality, a winner's mentality and someone who will get people out of their seats.
"My feeling is that it is the right time for him to help us in our ambitions. There is an old adage in football that you stand or fall by your strikers.
"All the top clubs have them. If we can add players who can do it to the ones we already have, it gives us a better chance."
