Thierno Barry should take note of what Beto is doing to improve his Everton form.
David Moyes has now made Beto his starting striker at Everton, with a much-improved run of form behind him over recent months.
It has not been an easy debut season for Barry since making his move to the Premier League from Villarreal.
Should Everton actually be getting Beto tied down to a new contract? 🤔
He'll only have a year left this summer…

MORE EVERTON STORIES
Everton players and staff are delighted for Beto following his return to form, which was initially seen during Moyes’ initial return last year.
The 28-year-old striker has netted seven Premier League goals this season, with six of them coming since the turn of the year.
And he is heading into the Merseyside Derby in fine form, having scored three goals in his last two league games.
A huge boost for the Blues, but it only highlights the struggles that Barry has endured during his first year in England.
Thierno Barry needs to earn his spot at Everton
This summer could see Everton sign another striker, which would really stir things up at Finch Farm.
If Everton were to splash the cash on a new striker, that could potentially demote Barry to third choice ahead of the new season.
Moyes has demanded that Barry finds his shooting boots as his search for a goal goes on after his last came away to Newcastle United.
It took Barry until December to find the back of the net for Everton, with his minutes now reduced to cameo appearances from the bench.
Although he is struggling, the Frenchman could still have a huge impact with a lot still to play for in the remaining six games.
