Norberto Bercique Gomes Betuncal (born 31 January 1998), known as Beto, is a Portuguese professional footballer who plays as a striker for Premier League club Everton.
Born in Lisbon of Bissau-Guinean descent, Beto started his senior career with amateurs União de Tires in the Lisbon Football Association, while working at KFC. [2] In 2018 he signed with Olímpico do Montijo of the third division, finishing second in the scoring charts in his only season with 21 goals. [3] [4]
Beto moved straight to the Primeira Liga on 3 June 2019, joining Portimonense on a four-year contract. [5] He made his debut in the competition on 9 August, coming on as an 87th-minute substitute in a 0–0 home draw against B-SAD. [6] He finished the campaign with a further ten league appearances, all from the bench.
Beto scored his first goal in the Portuguese top division on 8 November 2020, but in a 3–1 away loss to Porto. [7] He added ten more during the season, best in the squad. [8]
On the last day of the 2021 summer transfer window, Beto was transferred to Italian club Udinese on a season-long loan with an obligation to buy. [9] He scored four times in his first ten Serie A appearances, helping his team earn six points in the process. [10]
Beto netted a hat-trick in a 5–1 home win over Cagliari on 3 April 2022. [11]
On 29 August 2023, Beto joined Premier League club Everton on a four-year deal for a reported fee of around £25.8 million (€30 million). [12] [13] The following day, he made his debut and scored his first goal for the Toffees in a 2–1 victory at Doncaster Rovers in the second round of the EFL Cup. [14] His league bow took place on 2 September, when he featured the entire 2–2 draw away to Sheffield United. [15]
Beto scored his first goal in the league on 7 December 2023, closing the 3–0 win over Newcastle United at Goodison Park after playing the last minutes in place of Dominic Calvert-Lewin. [16] Twelve days later, he equalised 1–1 against Fulham in the League Cup quarter-finals and later converted his penalty shootout attempt, but the opposition advanced with a 7–6 victory. [17]
In October 2022, Beto was named in a preliminary Portugal 55-man squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar. [18]
Beto idolised Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o as a child, and signed his name as "Beto'o". He named Beethoven's Ninth as his music to listen to before training. [2] [19]
