Samuel Eto’o has a new club but immediately the striker has a problem – how is he going to get his full name on the back of his shirt?

The Cameroon legend has joined Turkish side Atiker Konyaspor from their rivals Antalyaspor. And for some unknown reason, his introduction was given the Game of Thrones treatment.

In a brilliantly bizerre Twitter video mimicking the opening credits from the hit show, the club introduce Eto’o as ‘Samuel Stormborn of the House Eto’o, First of his Name, The Unburnt, King of the Forwards, Breaker of Chains, Father of Eagles.’

Good luck getting that on the back of the shirt!

Eto’o, who’s played for Barcelona, Inter Milan, Real Madrid and Chelsea during his career, moved to Turkey in 2015.

The four-time African footballer of the year scored 44 times in 77 games for Antalyaspor but he leaves by mutual consent.
