After Che Adams, Everton have just made their move to sign £30m striker
Journalist Graeme Bailey claims Everton have opened talks with Udinese over the signing of Portuguese striker Beto.
Bailey took to social media platform on Wednesday morning and shared an update on Everton’s search for a new forward player.
The Toffees have struggled to find the back of the net during the early stages of the season and have suffered two defeats as a result.
Sean Dyche’s men rued their missed chances at Goodison Park on the opening day as they fell to a 1-0 defeat to Fulham.
And while they were well-beaten by Aston Villa over the weekend, Dyche seems to be pressing ahead with his attempts to bring in a new centre-forward.
Indeed, the Toffees had on Sunday.
But Bailey claims that a deal for the Scotland international looks unlikely, which has led to them opening talks over a move for Beto.

The 25-year-old will cost Everton in excess of £30 million, but a deal for him or Adams looks ‘highly unlikely’ at this stage.
Beto netted 10 times in 33 appearances in Serie A last season and has shown he has a keen eye for goal.
Everton are in desperate need of a new striker due to ongoing concerns over Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s fitness.
Of course, the Toffees have moved to bring in Arnaut Danjuma but the Dutchman isn’t exactly an out-and-out centre-forward.
Beto would certainly provide Everton with a focal point up front, but it seems a deal is highly unlikely to be struck at this stage.
