Everton have this evening confirmed that Samuel Eto'o will join Italian side Sampdoria "inside the next 24 hours".

The 33-year-old striker has undergone a medical in Genoa, and a move is now expected to be completed some time on Monday.

Sampdoria had prematurely confirmed the move on the club's Twitter account following a week of talks with the former African Footballer of the Year, although the finishing touches have yet to be placed on a deal.

Eto'o arrived at Goodison Park on a free transfer in August 2014, scoring four goals in 20 appearances for the Toffees this season.

Prior to linking up with Everton, the former Cameroon international enjoyed a season with fellow Premier League club Chelsea, while he has also featured for Barcelona and Inter Milan - winning a European and league double in successive seasons.
