Everton Star Likely Played Final Match Under Moyes Following Dramatic Events Over Past 24 Hours

Beto was among the starters as Everton played out a 0-0 draw against Burnley at Turf Moor on Saturday, a result that will surely frustrate David Moyes. Despite testing Martin Dubravka six times in goal, Everton were unable to secure the win and move up the Premier League table. While there were some positives from the outing, the Scotsman will have expected his side to beat a team languishing in 19th place.

Beto endures another torrid afternoon for Everton

Things continue to go awry for Beto at Everton. The Guinea-Bissau international has started eight league games this season and made ten further appearances from the bench, yet he has found the net just once. His scoring record – averaging 778 minutes per Premier League goal – ranks among the lowest for strikers in the top flight this term.

With the January transfer window approaching, Saturday’s clash with Burnley presented Beto with the perfect chance to demonstrate why he still deserves a place at Goodison Park for the remainder of the season. However, those expecting a standout performance were left disappointed. The 27-year-old had two clear opportunities to score, generating an xG of 0.87 (Sofascore), but failed to convert either. Beyond that, he completed none of his two attempted dribbles and lost possession eleven times, while managing just seven passes before being substituted by Moyes in the 70th minute.

Will Beto leave Everton in January?

Given his season-long struggles and his display against Burnley, it seems increasingly unlikely that Moyes will start Beto again this campaign. West Ham are reportedly interested, and Everton could explore either a loan move or a permanent sale, with the London club willing to pay a premium for his services. With the Toffees seeking a striker in January, Beto’s potential departure could clear the path for a new arrival, making a winter exit from Merseyside a distinct possibility.
