After days of speculations and linked with many teams in Europe, Samuel Eto’o has now finally completed his move away from Goodison Park today. The 33 year old former Barcelona Striker joined Everton in the last summer on a free transfer. He was released by Chelsea before Everton tied him for a short time. But now, just after 6 months of stay in the blue half of Merseyside, Eto’o time has finally came to an end in the English Premier League.
Announced on Everton FC’s official website, it has been said that Eto’o will join the Italian Club Sampdoria from now on a free transfer. His new contract will tie him until 2018. It’s not his first visit to Serie A, as the Cameroon International also played for Italian Giants Inter Milan from 2009-2011. He won 6 trophies in that short interval, so Sampdoria fans will be hoping that Eto’o might bring some glory to their ranks.
Roberto Martinez showed his praise for the former toffees Striker on the Club’s Official website. In his testimonial, Everton Boss has this to say,
“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.”
During his short spell with the Merseyside Club, Eto’o found the back of the net on 4 occasions in 20 appearances. When Everton are struggling in this year’s Premier League, the case is entire opposite with Eto’o new club. Sampdoria are currently sitting on 5th spot in the Serie A table, with just 2 points behind the 3rd spot Napoli side. So the Italian Club would hope that Eto’o can push them into top four spots as early as possible.
