Eto'o seemingly set for Amkar move

Veteran Antalyaspor striker Samuel Eto'o could be closing in on a return to the Russian Premier League after Amkar Perm posted a picture of him holding a club shirt bearing his name on social media.

Amkar did not provide any details about a possible transfer, but Eto'o was pictured holding a club jersey with the number 36 under his name.

The text accompanying the post simply read: "Today [Thursday]. Belek, Turkey. More details later."

Former Barcelona, Inter and Chelsea striker Eto'o scored 20 Turkish Super Lig goals as Antalyaspor scraped a top-half finish in a debut season in which he temporarily took charge of the club following the departure of coach Yusuf Simsek.

The 35-year-old has struck six times in 15 top-flight appearances this term, but the club sit fifth after 18 matches.
