Everton have signed the Portuguese forward Beto from Udinese as they attempt to remedy the goal shortage that has left them bottom of the Premier League.
The fee for Beto, who has signed a four-year contract at Goodison Park, is officially undisclosed but it is understood to be £26m. The first payment is not due until the next financial year. He is the club’s fifth signing of the summer after Ashley Young, Arnaut Danjuma, Youssef Chermiti and Jack Harrison, and may not be the last despite the financial constraints at Everton.
