Everton striker Samuel Eto'o is joining Sampdoria.

The Mail on Sunday says Eto'o has agreed to join Sampdoria after the club reached an agreement with his agent.

The 33-year-old Everton striker has been offered a two and a half year deal with the prospect of becoming a coach at the end of his playing deal.

Eto'o still has a family home in Milan and was keen to return to Italy.

Sampdoria want him to fly to Genoa tomorrow night ahead of a medical on Monday and then put him in the squad to face former club Inter Milan in the Italian Cup on Wednesday.
