African footballers are more talented than Europeans — Cameroon legend Samuel Eto'o

Samuel Eto'o starred for some of the world's biggest clubs, including Barcelona, Inter Milan and Chelsea. 

He was also instrumental as Cameroon won the Africa Cup of Nations twice, retiring as the highest goalscorer in AFCON history.

Speaking to the Athletic via ESPN, Eto'o touched on the subject of African football and the potential for growth and success.

"Africans have a lot of talent, Europeans a bit less, so I don't see why an African team will not win the World Cup.

"It is even one of the easiest things to do as it is just 7 games"

Eto'o, a four-time African Footballer of the Year winner, is Cameroon's record goalscorer with 56 goals.
