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.
