Eto'o joins Sampdoria from Everton

London - Samuel Eto'o has completed his move from
Everton to Italian club Sampdoria, signing a two-and-a-
half-year deal, the English Premier League side
announced Tuesday.
The 33-year-old Cameroon striker joined Everton on a
free transfer from Chelsea in August and leaves after
scoring four goals in 20 appearances.
Everton boss Roberto Martinez told the Merseyside
club's 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."
Sampdoria, who are fifth but are level on points with
fourth-placed Lazio, are one of several teams hoping to
battle for a third-place finish and possible Champions
League spot.
Last week, Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero signed
four players, including Udinese marksman Luis Muriel,
and said: "Today I have brought you four pearls and
maybe tomorrow there will be another."
Eto'o is now returning to Italy, where he enjoyed huge
success with Inter Milan during his spell with the club
in 2009-2011, including winning the treble of League,
Cup and Champions League in 2010 under former coach
Jose Mourinho.
