Super forward, Samuel Eto'o, says he wants to play at the Russian Premier League side Anzhi Makhachkala until the end of his career.

­“Today I think I will finish my career at Anzhi,” Samuel Eto’o said. “Now the football and the life I have is such a surprise. I am not too young, but even if I am 30 I can still play at a very, very good level until 35, 36 years old. That depends on the amount of success I have, to return to competition in Europe. But if the project works how I wish and how Anzhi want – I’ll finish my career at Anzhi.”

The Cameroonian has been a big hit with the Southern Russian club, since joining them from Inter Milan last year on a three-year contract.

“In Russia, I haven't experienced racism,” the 30-year-old says. “We know that Roberto Carlos has had a bad experience, but generally I think the most important for us all, the footballers and, especially, you – the journalists – is to decide to learn from others that we aren't different. I think that racism exists and at the same time doesn't – rather it is ignorance."

Eto’o has scored eight goals in 11 league games for Anzhi, perhaps helping to justify his annual 20-million-euro salary, which reportedly makes him the world's highest-paid player.
