Eto'o: It's hard to adapt to a new country and league... but Jose hasn't changed at all!

 Getting up to speed: Samuel Eto'o says adjusting to life in the Premier League hasn't been easy

Samuel Eto'o has admitted that life in the Premier League has not been easy to adjust to, but he is confident of becoming a success at Chelsea.

The Cameroon international signed from Anzhi in the summer on a free transfer and has scored one goal in nine games for Jose Mourinho's side.

That came in a 4-1 win over Cardiff at Stamford Bridge, where he fired home neatly to help the Blues come back from behind.

'I stick at things, will always push myself hard, and little by little I’ll get to where I want to be,' Eto’o said, as reported in the Daily Telegraph. 

'It can be complicated when you join after the season has begun, because your colleagues have already started implementing the manager’s ideas. I had to adapt to a new country, and a new league.'

None of Chelsea's strikers have been scoring regularly in the top flight this season, with Fernando Torres scoring his first league goal against Manchester City last Sunday.

It hasn't stopped them from rising to second place in the table, with Mourinho's men finding goals from other parts of the pitch.

And while he is finding it difficult to adjust to the Premier League, Eto'o can point to one factor that's still exactly the same.

'The Jose I know hasn’t changed at all,' said Eto’o. 'I’m happy about that.'
