Eto’o is a gift from the footballing gods – Martinez

Everton manager Roberto Martinez, has said that Samuel Eto’o is a “a gift from the footballing gods”.
The Cameroonian striker joined the Toffees last summer and scored twice last weekend against Burnley in 3-1 victory.
Martinez insists that the former Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea man inspires his team with his professionalism and hard work.
“To have Samuel here is like a gift from the footballing Gods. To have someone of his experience is the perfect ingredient for our young players, the way he’s been training and working to a perfect fitness peak has been of pristine professionalism,” he said.
“Then in terms of finishing qualities and what he brings to the side is of the highest quality. It’s important we give him the right playing time – but clearly to see his performance not just on Sunday, but in every role he’s had so far, has been really high standard.
“I’m really excited to see him in the second half of the season, his finishes against Burnley looked like the old good time Samuel Eto’o.
“He comes in every day wanting to work and does it with style, which is something everyone can learn from. He has a massive influence on those around him.”
