‘Beto has just received some really good news, courtesy of Everton teammate’
Beto could be set for a much-needed career boost at Everton.
Beto has struggled for form at Everton ever since his big-money move from Udinese back in the summer of 2023.
There has been a lack of positivity surrounding the striker, other than when Beto was nominated for Premier League Player of the Month in February.
David Moyes could look to replace Beto at Everton in the coming months, especially after Thierno Barry’s goal against Nottingham Forest.
The Frenchman finally opened his account for the Toffees, but it may prove to be the perfect chance for Beto to now prove his worth.
Beto to compete with Thierno Barry at Everton
Everton secured a 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest last time out as they got back to winning ways at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.
Barry got on the scoresheet in between a Nikola Milenkovic own goal and a Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall strike in a hugely positive result on Merseyside.
The striker was visibly delighted to net for the Blues as he looks to put a stamp on the centre-forward role in L4.
Many think the ex-Villarreal man’s goal could spell the end for Beto, but former Everton scout Bryan King can see it spurring the striker on moving forward.
Speaking exclusively to Goodison News, King said: “I think he needs to score more than one goal before he starts showing his worth.
“It was a good finish, and it may be the start for him to pay that £35m fee back.
“Hopefully, it will benefit him and Beto because they can start fighting for the centre-forward place. There’s nothing better than competition.
“When you’ve got someone like Ndiaye as well, he’s a proper player, and he can help the two going forward.“
Barry must continue goalscoring form at Everton
Beto will now be waiting in the wings, showing patience as he looks to bounce back and reclaim the number nine spot under Moyes.
The shirt is Barry’s for now, but that can quickly change if he reverts to his previous run of no goals in 14 Premier League appearances.
The 23-year-old could well go on to be the goalscorer that Everton need, but after such a frustrating start, there is no guarantee.
Beto has to be ready to take his chances when they come, and they are likely to as the campaign goes on at the Hill Dickinson.
