The Gunners were keen to sign the Cameroon international when he decided to leave Real Mallorca in the summer of 2004, yet he opted to remain in Spain and move to Barcelona.
"I love Arsene Wenger, he is one of the best coaches in the world," Eto'o told L'Equipe.
"I could have played for Arsenal some years ago, I would have loved to have had Arsene Wenger as my coach. In the end I am at Barca and I am proud to wear that shirt."

Past holds the future for Danes junior Cain
While most kids her age are busy looking to the future, Hannah Cain would much rather dig into the past. Cain, a junior at Fountain Valley in Colorado Springs, spent three weeks last summer working on an archaeological dig in Mallorca, a Spanish island in the Mediterranean Sea. Cain said the trip was the experience of a lifetime. "We stayed in this little medieval town that was something right out of a history book," Cain said. "At our dig, we found some Roman dice and about a half-dozen medieval graves. It was very exciting." Cain admits that almost anything she accomplishes on the soccer field this season will pale in comparison, although she is capable of some spectacular achievements. During her first two years at Fountain Valley, Cain has earned first-team Class 3A all-state honors, and she has helped the Danes reach the quarterfinals each season.
