Everton’s “fantastic” player is now thought to be “seriously considering” leaving the club when the January transfer window arrives.
Beto has been criticized by Everton fans.
Beto once again failed to score in the Blues’ 3-0 home defeat to Tottenham on Sunday, making it his only goal in the competition this season.
Sky Sports’ Alan Myers revealed that after the match, one Everton fan likened the Portuguese to “that riderless horse at the Grand National that keeps running even though you can’t win the race”, adding: “You don’t criticize hard work, but as a striker you get credit for goals and he just doesn’t score enough.”
Beto has not been able to consistently shine for the Blues since arriving at the club, but he is not alone as there have been too many flattering new signings to deceive in recent years.
While Jack Grealish has made a successful start to life at Everton, other signings have failed to really hit the ground running, with one such man reportedly already eyeing a new challenge in his career.
Everton player ‘seriously considering’ leaving the club
According to african feet (via sports witness), Everton left-back Adam Asnou is “seriously considering” leaving the club in January, having not played a single minute for the Blues yet this season.
The £25,000-a-week Spaniard only joined the Hill Dickinson Stadium from Bayern Munich in the summer, but a loan move is believed to be on the cards. With Getafe leading the league, a move to La Liga is the most likely option, with Everton open to the idea of loaning him.
Azunou must be frustrated with how things have played out at Everton, but there is no need to panic about his early struggles, especially given the rigors of the Premier League and given that he is a young player in a new country.
The former Bayern teenager is clearly talented and has been described as a “great player” by scout Jacek Kulig, and a loan move elsewhere in the second half of the season could be more beneficial than not even making the matchday squad.
