Will Etienne Eto’o Pineda follow in his father’s footsteps?

After having shone with the Cameroonian Youth team during the last CAN U20, the son of the Cameroonian legend could change his tunic.

According to information relayed by Marca, the 18-year-old is currently on trial at Benfica to possibly sign up with the Lisbon club’s reserve. He joined the squad on Tuesday and will be evaluated by the technical team led by Nélson Veríssimo, according to a local source.

As a reminder, he played until then with Real Oviedo (Juvenil A). The son of the Cameroonian icon is slowly making his name in the shadow of his father. During the last CAN U20, he particularly seduced observers with a performance that did not go unnoticed against Mozambique.

A new course in his very young career if the test proves successful.
