Samuel Eto'o has completed his move to Sampdoria on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

The Cameroon international joined Everton on a free transfer in August 2014.

Eto'o, a Champions League winner with Barcelona and Inter Milan, scored four goals in 20 appearances for the Toffees.

Everton manager Roberto Martinez said: "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.

"On behalf of all Evertonians, we wish him well for the next chapter in his career."
