Serie A high-flyers Sampdoria have completed the signing of Udinese striker Luis Muriel, according to reports on Saturday.

Sampdoria featured a video of the Colombian undergoing a medical on their official website and Sky Sport said the deal had been "finalised".

The report said Udinese will receive 10.5 million euros ($12.1m) for Muriel, with a further 1.5 million going to the northeners if Muriel makes 30 appearances or more in the next year and a half.

Last week, reports from Italy claimed Everton's Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto'o was on the verge of signing for Sampdoria, who are coached by Sinisa Mihajlovic.

Eto'o has been linked with Sampdoria for the past week and has already agreed terms with the Genoa-based club, according to a website report on Rai Sport.

The report said the deal was "practically done" and that "Eto'o is expected to arrive in the coming days".

Everton manager Roberto Martinez indicated Wednesday that Eto'o could be about to leave Goodison Park after revealing that two clubs have shown an interest in the veteran forward.

Sampdoria sit fifth in Serie A, 13 points behind leaders and champions Juventus and only one behind Lazio in the third and final Champions League qualifying spot.
