The Cameroon international left Everton after just six months - and now looks to do the same.

Former Everton striker Samuel Eto'o is on the move again, according to Sampdoria president Massimo Ferrero.

The 34-year-old joined the Italian club in January when he decided to leave Goodison Park just six months into a two-year contract.

Eto'o scored four times in 12 starts for the Blues after signing as a free agent last summer but a desire for regular first-team football - and to be closer to his family home in Milan - led him to push for a return to Italy.

Cameroon's record scorer agreed a deal until June 2018 with the Genoa outfit but now wants out having struggled in his second spell in Serie A.

Eto's netted just twice in 18 appearances and fell out with coach Sinisa Mihajlovic, who resigned earlier this month.

Ferrero told Sky Italia he expected the three-time Champions League winner to leave this summer with a move to the MLS rumoured.

"I think this little bird is destined to fly towards other shores," said Ferrero.

"As far as I'm concerned, he could stay for life as I wanted him and chose him to come here.

"He is a great champion but if he wants to leave, then he can follow his heart... and his wallet."
