Meet Everton’s £25m New Boy Beto: From KFC to Football Stardom

A Dream Come True

Just four years ago, Everton's newest signing, Beto, was serving up buckets of chicken at KFC. Now, he's living his dream as a professional footballer.

The £25 Million Deal

Everton has finalized a £25 million deal with Udinese to secure Beto's talents.

Leading the Line

Beto will be taking on a key role as he leads the line for Everton, donning the number 14 shirt.

Rags to Riches

Beto's journey from amateur Lisbon side Tires to the Premier League has been nothing short of remarkable. In 2018, he even had to work a second job as he played for Tires. Beto was working at KFC at the time to make ends meet, but he never stopped chasing his footballing dreams.

From Third Division to the Highest Tier

The Portuguese striker's talents were noticed while playing for Clube Olimpico Monjito in the third division. This led to a move to Liga NOS side Portimonense, where Beto quickly made his mark in Portugal's top division.

A Visit to KFC

Despite his new superstar status, Beto still takes the time to visit his friends at the KFC where he used to work. For him, it's a reminder of his journey and the belief he had in himself.

Joining Fellow Strikers

Beto will be joining his compatriot Youssef Chermiti at Everton, who was signed earlier this month for £12 million from Sporting. Manager Sean Dyche was determined to strengthen his forward line after a lack of goal-scoring prowess last season.

A Desperate Need for Goals

Everton is yet to find the back of the net this season, so fans will be eagerly anticipating Beto's instant impact as he aims to bring some much-needed firepower to the team.
