Samuel Eto’o risks 10-year prison sentence

Cameroon legend Samuel Eto’o is the latest player with links to Spanish La Liga club Barcelona, targeted by Spanish prosecutors with the forward reportedly facing the possibility of spending over 10 years in jail.
The 35-year-old is alleged to have committed tax crimes in his time with the Catalan club – this following allegations that Lionel Messi, Neymar and Javier Mascherano are guilty of the same offence.
