Everton complete transfer for Udinese forward, Beto

Everton, who are currently struggling in the Premier League, made an announcement on Tuesday regarding their acquisition of Portuguese striker Beto from Udinese. The fee for the transfer is rumored to be around £30 million. Beto, 25 years old and having scored 21 goals in Serie A over the course of two seasons with Udinese, is now Everton’s fifth signing of the summer transfer window. Unfortunately, Everton is currently at the bottom of the English top flight, having lost their first three matches without scoring a single goal.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin, who has a history of injuries, was forced to leave the recent 4-0 defeat against Aston Villa due to a facial injury he sustained upon returning to action. Sean Dyche, the manager of Everton, expressed his thoughts on the new signing, stating that Beto has demonstrated his impressive abilities in a top league like Serie A for the past two seasons, consistently scoring goals.

Dyche mentioned Beto’s strengths as a powerful striker who excels in carrying the ball, holding up play, being strong in the air, and working hard for the team. He believes that these attributes will contribute to Beto’s success at Everton.

Beto, who has agreed to a four-year contract with Everton, shared his thoughts on the move, highlighting the fact that the club had shown interest in him since January and reiterated their desire to sign him in the summer. He mentioned former Everton player Samuel Eto’o as his idol, making the opportunity to join the club even more special. Beto expressed his commitment to bringing courage, confidence, and enthusiasm to the team and their games. He believes that his style of play aligns well with Everton.
