Eto'o, 32, joins the Blues on a one-year deal
after spending two seasons at the Dagestan-
based club.
"I am very happy to be here but also anxious
because I want to get playing as soon as
possible," the Cameroon striker said.
"'It wasn't a hard decision. I saw the qualities
Chelsea have, and I was very happy with Jose
Mourinho before, so when the opportunity came,
I was very happy to take it."
The signing of the Cameroon international, who
won the Champions League with Mourinho while
at Inter Milan, would appear to end Chelsea's
interest in Wayne Rooney, who the West London
club have been courting all summer.
Eto'o, who has also played for Barcelona, Real
Madrid and Mallorca, surprisingly joined big-
spending Anzhi in 2011 on a reported world
record wage.
But he has fallen victim to the club's cost-
cutting measures, which also saw Brazil
playmaker Willian move to Stamford Bridge this
week.
