'Can Samuel defend corners?' - Hull boss Phelan responds to Eto'o rumours

Hull City manager Mike Phelan admits Samuel Eto’o would be taking on an ‘unbelievable challenge’ were he to complete a shock move to the KC Stadium.

The former Barcelona and Chelsea striker has been linked with a return to English football with the Tigers since the January transfer window opened.

He is currently on the books of Turkish side Antalyaspor, but they are reportedly prepared to loan him out until the summer.

Eto’o is now 35 years of age, but the four-time African Player of the Year has lost none of his touch, netting 20 times last season and five in 13 appearances this term.
