“Everton’s SHOCKING Masterstroke: 342-Game PL Legend Is Moyes’ DREAM Signing – You WON’T Believe Who!”

David Moyes’ Everton side offered very little in attack during their trip to Elland Road, with Beto enduring another frustrating afternoon in front of goal.

The Portuguese striker struggled to stamp his authority on the match, leaving the Toffees short of firepower against newly promoted Leeds United.

Although some Everton supporters, including former boxer Tony Bellew, were furious at the late penalty awarded to Leeds and argued it was extremely harsh, the overall display from the Blues remained concerning regardless of that decision.

Alan Stubbs has publicly suggested that Everton should explore the possibility of signing Jamie Vardy, and Moyes’ past admiration for the former England striker hints he could indeed be tempted to pursue the move.

Beto’s struggles underlined the need for reinforcements. The 26-year-old failed to record a single shot on target, finishing the match with just 0.06 expected goals and 0.01 expected assists – hardly the return of a reliable Premier League frontman.

Youngster Thierno Barry also made a brief cameo but had little chance to impact proceedings on his debut.

That lack of threat has once again opened the door for speculation about Vardy, who remains a free agent after leaving Leicester City earlier in the summer. Moyes’ previous words about the veteran forward are now resurfacing.

During his time at West Ham, the Scot hailed Vardy as “a terrific player” who seemed to be improving with age, while also stressing the importance of trying to collectively contain him.

At 38, Vardy’s advancing years would normally raise concerns, yet Moyes has already shown he is unafraid of trusting experience, having extended Seamus Coleman’s contract.

The manager even remarked that age “isn’t as important as it used to be,” fueling rumours that Vardy could be a short-term solution at Goodison Park.

Vardy’s track record against Everton will also not be forgotten. According to Statmuse, he has faced the Toffees 16 times in the Premier League, contributing nine goals or assists.

His knack for troubling Everton may even encourage sections of the fanbase to see him join their ranks rather than punish them again in opposition colours.

With 342 top-flight appearances under his belt, Vardy offers a completely different profile compared to Beto and Barry. However, signing a player who turns 39 in January comes with obvious risks.

Ideally, Everton should be investing in a longer-term centre-forward to spearhead their attack, but if finances restrict them, bringing Vardy in on a free transfer could be a gamble worth considering.
