As the Premier League grinds towards the winter transfer window, Everton finds itself in a familiar, uncomfortable position. Lodged in 14th place with a mixed record of three wins, three draws, and four defeats, the atmosphere at Goodison Park is one of restless anticipation. The club's hierarchy is poised for a pivotal January, a month that promises both strategic arrivals and difficult departures as they seek to reshape their struggling squad.

The blueprint for this mid-season overhaul is becoming clear. According to insights from Everton News, the Toffees' shopping list is targeted, with a new striker and a full-back identified as key priorities. However, with Financial Fair Play concerns ever-looming, any incoming business is likely to be financed by player sales. This sets the stage for a potentially significant exit.

The name at the forefront of this conversation is the Guinean-Bissau international, Beto. The 27-year-old striker, whose full name Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal belies his simpler on-pitch identity, is now facing an uncertain future. Despite making a dozen appearances across all competitions this season, his return of a mere two goals has failed to convince the Everton board. His performances, it seems, have been deemed insufficient for the challenges ahead.

With a contract binding him to the club until 2027 and a market value still estimated in the millions, Beto represents one of the club's most viable assets. As Everton prepares to navigate the tricky January market, the potential departure of their number 9 could be the catalyst for a new beginning, freeing up crucial resources for the reinforcements they so desperately need.
