Former Chelsea star Samuel Eto'o ready to leave Everton for bumper Sampdoria deal

The Cameroonian legend has been offered a bumper £60,000-per-week deal to join Italian side Sampdoria, and is reported to have already agreed terms.Roberto Martinez openly admitted that Eto'o had been excluded from his squad due to recent offers, and vowed to do the best thing for 'both parties.'

Eto'o has been far from a permanent fixture in Everton's starting 11, but then again, not many have with Martinez's emphasis on squad rotation.
The 33-year-old has netted three Premier League goals, with a single assist to boot - but is certainly not indispensable to the Toffees.

The highlight of Eto's short Goodison Park residence has undoubtedly been his double against Burnley at Turf Moor.

A late equaliser against FC Krasnodar also helped Everton top their Europa League group with a game to spare.

Martinez may opt to dive into the loan market for a replacement, however the promising start made by Arouna Kone may afford the Spaniard the luxury of saving funds.
