Newly promoted Turkish side Antalyaspor have completed the signing of Samuel Eto'o and are on the verge of adding Ronaldinho to their squad as the minnows prepares for the Super League season.

"We reached an agreement with Ronaldinho. I think within two days it'll be made official,” said Antalyaspor President Gultekin Gencer  in an interview with Turkish radio on Wednesday, according to the Daily Star.

"Besides [Samuel] Eto'o and Ronaldinho, we will make another big-name signing.

"When it's done, we'll set the world on fire!"

The veteran Chelsea and Barcelona stars will be announced by the club within the next few days.

The Turkish Super League could be about to witness the emergence of a new footballing super power with the arrivals of a former World Cup winner and an African Nations Cup hero.
