Eto'o completes Sampdoria Move

The Cameroonian striker returns to Italy after leaving Everton having spent just six months at Goodison Park following his departure from Chelsea during the summer.

Everton have confirmed that striker Samuel Eto'o has completed his move to Sampdoria. The Serie A side announced they were to sign the experienced striker, who was pictured holding the Italian club's shirt, on Saturday.

Eto'o moved to Goodison Park on a short-term deal in the summer having left Chelsea following the expiration of his one-year contract at Stamford Bridge.

But the Toffees have allowed the striker to make his return to Italy during the January transfer window after four goals in 20 games in all competitions

"We thank Samuel for his efforts and for bringing his know-how to the team and to Finch Farm where he passed on some of his terrific experience to all of the young players in particular," Everton boss Roberto Martinez told the club's official website.

"The memory of his performances in Europe stand out especially. On behalf of all Evertonians, we wish him well for the next chapter in his career."

Eto'o previously spent two years at Inter between 2009 and 2011, and has also played for Real Madrid, Mallorca, Barcelona, Chelsea and Anzhi. Goal
