Samuel Eto’o is reportedly in talks over a move to Dutch giants Ajax this summer.

According to The Sun, the striker and his agent met the Eredivisie side’s sporting director Marc Overmars in Paris yesterday – with negotiations about a move to the Netherlands believed to be in advanced stages.

Eto’o was released by Chelsea recently and had been in talks about a transfer to several English clubs, including West Ham, QPR and Sunderland.

Sunderland were hopeful of snapping up the free agent after QPR pulled out of a potential deal for the Cameroon international because of the player’s £120,000-a-week wage demands before Eto’o rejected West Ham’s offer to go to east London.

However, it now seems that Eto’o may leave England for Ajax despite the 33-year-old’s willingness to take a pay cut to stay in the Premier League.

Eto’o scored 12 goals in all competitions for Chelsea last season, but the Blues opted not to extend his one-year deal, leaving Eto’o in search of a new club for the coming season.
