chelsea new striker Eto delighted with the Blues signature

Samuel Eto'o has dubbed his move to the Premier League as "one of my last dreams as a professional" after joining Chelsea.

The 32-year-old striker's illustrious career has included successful spells in both Spain and Italy with Barcelona and Inter respectively.

Eto'o has won La Liga three times, Serie A, the UEFA Champions League on three occasions and the FIFA Club World Cup, as well as steering Cameroon to two Africa Cup of Nations titles.

The four-time African Player of the Year is now relishing the chance of playing in England under Jose Mourinho, his former manager at Inter.

"I've had a couple of opportunities to come to England before, including the first time Jose was here, but it didn't work out for one reason or another," Eto'o told Chelsea's official website.

"Since that time, I have had a career where I have been lucky enough to win a lot of trophies in different countries, but one of my last dreams as a professional is to come and play in England and see if I can have the same success as in my previous clubs.

"I don't see it as a final challenge, but to have a good time, enjoy my football, and have success with this team."

Eto'o has penned a one-year deal at Stamford Bridge following his transfer from Anzhi Makhachkala.

When asked whether he is eyeing a longer stay at Chelsea, he added: "This is the thing that least preoccupies me.

"It's something to talk about later, both sides need to be happy but importantly the club needs to be happy with me before they even ask my opinion on that

North Korean leader, Kim Jong-un, publicly executes ex-girlfriend

On August 8th, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un was in the audience to applaud his ex-girlfriend Hyon Song- wol (right), a singer with the Unhasu National Orchestra. 9 days later a group of artists were arrested for allegedly making a sex tape. His ex was one of them. They were publicly executed by firing squad on August 20th, while their families were condemned to a labor camp.


The North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un ordered the public execution of his ex-girlfriend Hyon Song- wol, accused of 'pornography' with a group of artists from the National Orchestra of Unhasu, which his current wife Ri Sol -ju also once belonged to. The arrest took place on August 17, the execution took place in public three days later. According to the indictment the women filmed themselves having sex and then sold the videos in China. Some South Korean sources claim that there were many Christians among those sentenced to death who had a Bible at home, a "crime" that you can pay for with your life or imprisonment in a state gulag in North Korea.
hose shot to death include Mun Kyong -jin, director of the Unhasu orchestra, some singers and dancers of Wangjaesan Light Music Band and some army musicians. All family members of the women involved were sentenced to forced labor. According to the Juche ( the delusional state doctrine conceived by the " father of the nation " Kim Il -sung ) is not enough to punish those guilty of a crime, but it is necessary to eradicate the evil " for three generations . " Every year, on the basis of this principle, thousands of children are born in labor camps and live there until their death.
The "Young Marshal " Kim Jong-un , the third son and heir of the "dear leader" Kim Jong -il, met Hyon about ten years ago . After a brief "official" relationship, the engagement was broken by the father of the dictator and the singer was given in marriage to a military man, while the "third Kim " met ​​his present wife . According to various sources, the two have continued to see each other even after their marriages. The public execution is thus seen as a victory of the "Companion" Ri, who gave two sons to the current dictator and wants to ensure their survival in one of the most cruel dynasties in today's world.

On 8 August, the dictator took part in a concert performed by the now decimated orchestra. The execution is viewed by some analysts as a sign of affirmation of his power: " Kim Jong-un is cruelly eliminating anyone who might be a threat to his rule, anyone who can defy authority. Public executions are silencing anyone who even thinks of undermining him

MOSES WANTED IN LIVERPOOL FC

Liverpool are targeting Chelsea midfielder Victor Moses for a season-long loan deal. The 25-year-old has seen his chances of playing in the Blues’ first team reduced following the arrival of Brazilian winger Willian from Anzhi Makachkala.
According to Daily Mail, Chelsea expect Liverpool to pay £2million loan fee for the Nigerian.
However, Liverpool want to try to secure the deal at a reduced price.

With the 2014 World Cup looming, the winger needs to play regularly in order to secure a place in the Nigeria team that is aiming to qualify for its fourth Mundial.
Liverpool coach Brenda Rodgers hopes his long-standing relationship with Mourinho will help steer the deal in Liverpool’s direction this week ahead of transfer deadline day on September 2.
Moses has been told that Chelsea are unlikely to agree to his sale, but they will let the winger leave for a season.
