Everton have been thrown into turmoil after the departure of striker Beto, leaving them with a significant shortage of attacking options as the transfer deadline approaches. The Portuguese forward struggled to become the focal point of the Toffees' attack during his time on Merseyside, making 113 appearances across all competitions and contributing 25 goals and 3 assists.
The split from Beto has greatly weakened the team's attacking line. Moreover, the situation is compounded by the imminent transfer of winger and forward Iliman Ndiaye to Manchester City.
As a result of these changes, the only recognised centre-forward remaining in the management's plans is 23-year-old Tierno Barry, who now bears the main goalscoring responsibility for the team in the Premier League.
