Wenger almost sign Makelele, Cech and Eto'o
|
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed he missed the chance to sign Barcelona star Sammy Eto'o and Chelsea pair Petr Cech and Claude Makelele.
"Claude Makelele was close to signing for us, Samuel Eto'o too, and I missed a few," said Wenger.
"I have been offered many players, like [Petr] Cech, who could have done well for us.
"Makelele was straight after Vieira came [August 1996], it was very early when he was still in Nantes, and Eto'o, just before he joined Barcelona [August 2004], it was between us and Barcelona."
