Ajax have taken charge of their attempt to sign free agent striker Samuel Eto'o, insisting he must decide whether to join them by 18:00 CET today.

Eto'o was Ajax's guest at their recent home Eredivisie match against Vitesse and the Dutch champions have been wooing the striker, who parted ways with Chelsea at the end of last season.



The 33-year-old is wanted by a number of clubs, a group also thought to include Liverpool, and is taking his time over making a decision on where to play his football this term.

Now Ajax want a clear answer from Eto'o and are not in the mood to hang around for it.

 


Club director of football Marc Overmars told Dutch daily De Telegraaf that an ultimatum has been set.

"The deadline is 18:00 today", he said.

Eto'o had been due to let Ajax know whether he wished to join them by Sunday, but made no decision and his advisors have indicated a decision is not due soon.
