Antalya: Legendary Brazilian striker Ronaldinho has agreed to join newly-promoted Turkish side Antalyaspor and team up with former Barcelona teammate Samuel Eto’o.

Antalyaspor president Gultekin Gencer says the club and 2005 World Player of the Year award winner Ronaldinho, 35, have agreed personal terms and the deal should be completed this week, dailymail.co.uk reported on Tuesday.

“We reached an agreement with Ronaldinho. I think within two days it’ll be made official,” he said.

“Besides Eto’o and Ronaldinho, we will make another big name signing. When it’s done, we’ll set the world on fire!”

Ronaldinho, who was part of the Brazilian team that won the 2002 FIFA World Cup, appeared in an Instagram video and said “greetings to everyone. I will be with you all in Turkey soon”.

Former A.C. Milan and Paris Saint-Germain star Ronaldinho, who cancelled his contract with Mexican side Queretaro to help push through the move, will team up with Cameroon striker Eto’o.

The pair enjoyed a successful spell together at Barcelona, winning the La Liga and King’s Cup as well as the 2006 European Champions League.

Sunil Gavaskar gives his opinion of GT allrounder Rahul Tewatia

The left-handed batsman from Haryana is garnering praise from all quarters for the way he’s finishing games regularly in the most exciting IPL season.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.

Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”

Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
