Samuel Eto'o vowed to repeat his success with Barcelona with Inter Milan as he was officially presented as their latest recruit.

The Cameroon international put pen to paper on a five-year deal with Inter last night following the protracted 'swap' deal that saw Zlatan Ibrahimovic confirmed as a Barca player just hours earlier.

And Eto'o hopes to continue his prolific scoring record to fire his new club to glory.

"I want to write history with Inter and I hope to do so," he said. "I won almost everything with Barca, I hope to do so also here."

Eto'o scored 125 goals in 144 games for Barca, firing them to a string of titles, including three Primera Divisions, two Champions Leagues and a Copa del Rey success, in his five seasons at the club.

Inter will also receive 45million euros as part of the deal but the 28-year-old, who only had a season left on his contract with Barca, has shrugged off suggestions this proves Ibrahimovic is the better of the two.

"It would be great to win the Ballon d'Or but first I'm thinking about the team's interest and not my personal ones," Eto'o continued.

"Ibra is a great player but I am Samuel Eto'o and my past and my victories talk for me. I don't like parallels being drawn.

"I wish Zlatan all the best."

Eto'o, who had his first training session as an Inter player today, hopes to settle into his new life as quickly as possible.

And he has vowed to repay the faith Inter coach Jose Mourinho and the Nerazzurri fans have shown in him

"When you arrive in a new place you find yourself facing so many new things," added Eto'o. "I thank the fans for their welcome and I will pay them back on the pitch, training seriously and winning as much as possible.

"It won't be easy but I will try.

"It has been years that I have been trying to play under Mourinho and I have never managed it. Now I am happy to be here, for me it is a great honour.

"Here in Serie A there are important players because great players are in teams where they know they will be able to win things.

"I am here because it is a very competitive league.

"It's true Ibra and Kaka have left but there are many great champions in Italy and I am convinced I have made the best choice."
