Eto’o who watched him grow from his Academy in Cameroon to Masia in Barcelone, heaped praise on him as he enjoyed his display from San Siro stands in Inter’s 2-0 win over AC Milan.
He even likened him to his former teammate Julio Cesar with whom he won the trebe in 2010 under Jose Mourinho guidance.
“He’s my son, he grew up in my academy”, Eto’o told Prime Video.
“He was a good boy, I have so many emotions when I remember his debut. He’s as good with his feet as Julio Cesar.”
