Dodo dumps Inter and joins Sampdoria

Inter wing-back Dodo has joined Sampdoria on loan until the end of the season.

The defender had been linked with Sampdoria for a number
of weeks and joined his new team-mates on the training
pitch for the first time on Thursday after passing his medical
in the morning.

Dodo joined Inter from Roma in July 2014 and made 20
Serie A appearances in his first season at the Giuseppe
Meazza. However, he made just one appearance in all
competitions in the first half of the 2015-16 campaign and
had been deemed surplus to requirements by head coach
Roberto Mancini.

The 23-year-old will now be looking to get his career back
on track at Sampdoria and could make his official debut for
his new club in this weekend's home game against Serie A
leaders Napoli.

Dodo has a contract with Inter until June 2019.
