Is Beto a £30m striker now?

- Published

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.
Pete from Birkenhead asked: Last week you said you were not convinced that Beto was a £30m striker - care to revise that opinion?
Phil answered: I knew this one would be coming. All I will say is that up until two weeks ago, I'm not sure even Beto's biggest admirers would say he looked like a £30m striker.
Now we come to Beto under David Moyes, who has got him playing to his strengths and running into channels rather than with his back towards goal, plus the fact that Everton are actually playing forward and quickly has also been to his benefit.
He has looked composed, a real focal point and a handful. One thing you could never accuse Beto of was a lack of effort, so it is great to see his endeavour rewarded.
If he continues this form, consistently, then I will be very happy to revise my opinion. He has been excellent in the last few weeks.
