Everton have confirmed that Samuel Eto'o has joined Sampdoria on a free transfer.
The 33-year-old was in Italy at the weekend for a medical and discussions over personal terms, while he was also in attendance to watch Samp play out a 1-1 draw with Palermo.
The Toffees, whom the Cameroon striker joined from Chelsea last summer, had remained quiet with regards to the deal, but they have now revealed that the move has been finalised.
"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," manager 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."
In total, Eto'o made 20 appearances for Everton, from which he scored four goals.
