Turkish club Konyaspor has sacked Ex-Cameroon captain Samuel Eto’o with two years still left on his contract. Eto’o joined struggling Konyaspor from rivals Antalyaspor in January 2018, scoring six goals in 14 appearances to help the club maintain their top-flight status. The Turkish club said the former Chelsea and Everton striker, 37, has had his deal cancelled, “on the basis of a previously agreed negotiation”. A three-time Champions League winner, Eto’o moved to Antalyaspor in the summer of 2015 as the keystone of the club’s bid to find national and even European success. Eto’o enjoyed much of his club success at Barcelona, where he played from 2004 to 2009, and has also had spells in Russia, England and Italy.
