Lyon linked to Lion

LYON are the latest club to be linked with a move for Real Mallorca's Samuel Eto'o.

The French side will probably have to replace Sonny Anderson, who looks set to leave in the summer, and Eto'o has emerged as an option.

The Majorca man has already declared interest from Liverpool, but a minimum release clause of around £20 million is likely to be a major sticking point for most clubs.

Valencia and Tottenham have also both been linked with the striker, who hails from Cameroon, but it remains to be seen if Mallorca are prepared to accept a lesser bid.

Valencia were rumoured to have offered £11 million plus Salva Ballesta for the player - and it is clear that Eto'o is not a cheap option.
