Everton linked with Christian Kofane of Bayer Leverkusen.
19 year old Cameroonian international.
Watched this lad in the CL against Arsenal and City. He is aggressive off the ball, presses well from the front and closes defenders down quickly.
Seems brilliant at getting the run on his man and attacking the box - a bit like Giroud used to do poaching near-post finishes. Big physical lad at 6ft 2 and puts himself about.
Seems like the player we were supposed to be getting when we got Barry. Perhaps Bayer would be interested in a swap hahah!

Just out of curiosity, did you know anything about Beto or Barry before we bought them BN?

Not Barry, BR. Knew nothing about the lad but I think he had only been at Villareal for the season before we signed him.
Beto, I actually knew of because of Del Boy, tbh. They played at Udinese together and struck up a decent partnership, reminiscent of his and Lukaku's.
To me he looked like he would be a decent centre-forward for us. In his defence, we have not played to his strengths in the slightest.
We have seen shades of him at his best when we play the ball in behind. Pertinent goals that spring to mind like Doncaster, Newcastle, Liverpool, Leicester, Chelsea.
He is by no means the best footballer and I would prefer a more well-rounded player leading the line for us but there is no reason why he couldn't score 10/15 goals a season for us, if we played to his strengths.
