Beto has proven to be one of the real success stories of the David Moyes return at Everton.
Things are looking on the up around Everton over the last month with results having really picked up in the Premier League.
Moyes has been able to lead Everton to a run of five games without defeat in the league.
But the 61-year-old’s time at Goodison Park has not been without its issues with players like Orel Mangala now out injured for the rest of the season.
But there have been some players who have really blossomed under the Scotsman.
Jake O’Brien has flourished under Moyes with the Ireland international given a new lease of life following Sean Dyche’s departure.
Striker Beto is another, but the striker has already been warned by Moyes about something he hasn’t been overly keen on.
David Moyes has warned Beto after Everton issue
With Dominic Calvert-Lewin and two other senior strikers out through injury, Beto has finally been given a real run in the starting XI.
And Beto has really impressed the Everton fans with a solid return of goals in the Premier League under Moyes.
However, the 61-year-old admitted in Friday’s press conference that he has warned Beto about shooting from outside of the box.
“He’s had a wild few shots outside the box which I’ve had to say to him: ‘You’re dreaming if you think you’re going to score that one’,” Moyes joked.
“So, I’ve sort of had to tell him straight: ‘Get yourself in the box, get in good areas’. He’s scored a few when he’s been in on goal and he’s looked very composed when he’s done that.
“So, hopefully he can keep doing it, but we want him to do lots of different jobs.”
Torino are devastated they missed out on Beto in the January transfer window with the striker looking all but set to leave before the injuries.
Although Moyes has had a word, it seems the constructive criticism has paid off, with his form suggesting he is making big strides forward.
Beto is earning himself the long-term role at Everton
Calvert-Lewin has struggled massively this season with both injuries and form.
Everton are open to handing Calvert-Lewin a new contract with his current deal set to expire in the coming months.
But it has to be questioned – with the form Beto is showing – whether he could come back as the starting striker after his injury.
Of course, Beto has to keep this run of form going, but he has already scored more goals in the Premier League than Calvert-Lewin in more than 1000 minutes less action.
It’s looking pretty damning for Calvert-Lewin.
