David Moyes to go on strike at Everton after what Beto did vs Burnley
Beto let David Moyes down once again as Everton drew 0-0 against Burnley in the Premier League on Saturday.
The Toffees travelled to Turf Moor on 27 December, and continued their winless run after defeats to Chelsea and Arsenal.
Beto and Thierno Barry have both been poor this season, but the Guinea-Bissau international was given the nod ahead of the former Villarreal attacker in the starting lineup, although he was woeful for 70 minutes against the Clarets.
The Friedkin Group haven’t made any plans to sign players for Moyes in January, and the Scottish manager may have to revolt to get his point across.
Everton need to sign new striker in winter transfer window for David Moyes
Beto was pivotal to Moyes’ success at the Toffees last season, but the centre-forward’s form has dipped in recent months.
The 27-year-old had an xG of 0.26 and an xA of 0.01 at Turf Moor, missing one big chance to give the Blues the lead, as per Sofascore.
It was also frustrating to see the striker lose possession 11 times in the game and fail to complete any of his two dribble attempts against Burnley.
Of the Guinea-Bissau attacker’s 23 touches in the game, six were unsuccessful, and he attempted nine passes in the entire game, with a 78 per cent accuracy.
While Barry finally got off the mark against Nottingham Forest in the 3-0 home win on 6 December, his overall season has been underwhelming.
With just two Premier League goals between Beto and the French striker, it’s clear that Moyes needs a new number nine, and if he doesn’t get one, he should go on strike.
Friedkin Group have perfect transfer target for David Moyes
There have been talks of a possible swap for Beto and Roma striker Artem Dovbyk in the winter transfer window.
TFG own the Serie A giants, and they could undoubtedly easily facilitate a deal that could see the Ukraine international move to Everton.
The Hill Dickinson Stadium is crying out for a reliable goalscorer, and that’s something Dovbyk has shown he can do during his time at Girona.
With the upcoming transfer window arguably crucial to how well the Toffees do until the end of the season, the American owners have an evident priority to reinforce the team in L4.
