Eto'o departs Everton for Sampdoria

Samuel Eto'o has completed his move from Everton to Sampdoria, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal. The 33-year-old striker joined the Toffees on a free transfer in August and leaves after scoring four goals in 20 appearances.

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

"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."
