Everton exit not going to plan – Belief player making 'no impact at all'

Beto has struggled since joining Fiorentina from Everton in summer, making little impact in six Serie A appearances and drawing criticism for his form.

Beto's move to Fiorentina has not gone to plan so far. The striker, who joined the Italian club from Everton late in the summer transfer window, has featured six times in Serie A but has failed to make an impression. He came off the bench against Inter Milan at the weekend in a 2-1 defeat and struggled to influence the game.

FirenzeViola reports that Fiorentina expected to sign a more combative version of Beto, similar to the player who performed well at Udinese, but instead have found him making "no impact at all" upfront. The outlet suggests he has become the most disappointing signing of the summer for La Viola, appearing "cumbersome" and falling well short of Moise Kean, the striker he replaced after Kean joined Como.

Manager Paolo Vanoli has continued to trust Beto to prove himself, but the faith may not last indefinitely if performances do not improve. While Beto scored 25 times in 113 games for Everton and 22 times in 65 games at Udinese, he is currently struggling to adjust to his new surroundings.
