The 37-year-old striker is on the move to his 13th club having been released by Turkish Super Lig side Konyaspor at the end of the last season.

Earlier on Monday, Eto'o confirmed he had held talks with Ligue 1 teams, stating that he was "open to offers from France."

But the Qatari outfit have swooped for the signature of one of Africa's most decorated players.

On Monday evening, the Doha-based outfit announced the signature of the former Barcelona and Chelsea marksman, who is set to be unveiled on Tuesday.

The Qatar Stars League is two weeks into the 2018-19 season and the Kings are placed fifth after taking three points from their opening two games.

Next up, the Suhaim Bin Hamad Stadium outfit play Al Sailiya on Friday, and the presence of the ex-Cameroon international should provide them with a boost.
