Samuel Eto'o said who is going to succeed Lionel Messi and surprised everybody

Samuel Eto'o is one of the players who knows Lionel Messi the most. He was there when the Argentinian made his debut and was there also when he became the best player in the world. Now he is leaving FC Barcelona, and there are lots of rumours about what is going to happen next to him and the club.

Eto'o scored 130 goals in the 199 matches in the five years he played for the club, lifting also eight trophies. He became a key player in the 2009 team that won the three titles in the same season with that tiki-taka style, and with that he became a legend. He knows the club very well and gave his opinion on who should replace the GOAT.

The striker, who left the Cules in bad terms with Pep Guardiola and moved to Inter, gave an interview to Sports Bible and pointed Ansu Fati as the player who should take the number 10 shirt when Messi leaves. He also told that if the club prepares him and takes care of him, he will surely do extraordinary things.

Fati, who is currently dealing with an injury, has broken lots of records related to his youth. He scored 13 goals in 43 matches and before turning 18 years old, he made his international senior debut with Spain. He is called to be one of the best in the next years and if Eto'o is correct, he will be a great successor for Messi.
