Eto'o's Son Etienne Set to Join Oviedo in 2020

Etienne, the son of former Barcelona star Samuel Eto’o is set to join Second Division side Real Oviedo on a free transfer this month.

Who is Etienne Eto'o ?

Eto’o Jr. came through the youth ranks at Real Mallorca between 2006 and 2009.

The 18-year old has agreed a deal to join Cuco Ziganda’s side ahead of the 2020-21 campaign, after leaving Atletico Baleares in July, according to reports from Mundo Deportivo.

Eto'o JR., a goal scoring forward, just like his father, will link up with the Oviedo’s reserve team for pre-season training next week.

Real Oviedo will be aiming to improve their performance to cement top-flight promotion next season, after finishing 15th in 2019-20, despite a strong run of form following the restarted campaign.

Ziganda may look to immediately fast track Etienne into the club’s first team action from the start of next season, alongside a host of other talented youngsters including Ghanaian striker Samuel Obeng and Spanish underage star Jorge Mier.
