“He’s a good man,” he told evertonTV. “He’s a good person and he’s always trying to push me, you know?

“Sometimes he jokes around, ‘Beto, you can’t do this, you can’t do that.’ But he’s always trying to push me, and when I do something bad, he says, ‘You need to be tidy, holding the ball — set.’

“I know that I need to improve that, but he knows too, so it’s good to have him on my side.”

Meanwhile, Moyes has said of his centre-forward: “Let me tell you, he is an unbelievable lad. In training, he is very humble, self-effacing, he’s happy to laugh at himself, but to try and make himself better.

“So for all those reasons we think so much of him, because in what he’s doing he’s actually accepting that ‘I have to get better’. And let’s be fair, probably from where he started he has got unbelievably better from where he was.”
