EVERTON new-boy Beto, 25, was working for KFC just FOUR YEARS AGO before realising his dream of becoming a professional footballer.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Toffees have sealed a deal with Udinese that will see them pay the Serie A club \u00a325million.<\/p>\n

He scored ten goals and registered one assist in 33 league appearances last season.<\/p>\n

It's been a rags to riches story for the Portuguese striker, who told DAZN last summer that he was forced to work a second job while playing for amateur Lisbon side Tires in 2018.<\/p>\n

He said: "I was training with Tires and working in Portugal, it was a nice life. I was working at KFC. It was good.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beto began his ascent to the Premier League by leaving Tires to join third division Portuguese side Clube Olimpico Monjito.<\/p>\n

It was at Monjito that he was noticed by Liga NOS side Portimonense and after just a year of playing in the third tier found himself playing in Portugal's highest division.<\/p>\n

Asked by DAZN how he feels walking past a KFC now he is a fully-fledged pro, he said: "Nothing special, but when I return home, I always go to that KFC to visit my friends.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always believed I could have become a footballer. I wanted to become a professional football player.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy team-mates didn\u2019t believe it, maybe just two of them. They were telling me: \u2018Beto, it\u2019s hard, it\u2019s impossible.\u2019 Then I joined Portimonense and they changed their mind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Beto will join Portuguese compatriot and fellow striker Youssef Chermiti\u00a0at Everton, who signed for \u00a312m from Sporting earlier this month.<\/p>\n

Toffees boss Sean Dyche was desperate to reinforce his forward line this summer after his strikers proved particularly blunt in front of goal last season.<\/p>\n

Neal Maupay managed just one goal in 27 appearances and an injury hit Dominic Calvert Lewin scored just two goals in his 17 outings.<\/p>\n

Calvert Lewin's injury woe continued when he suffered a horror eye injury against Aston Villa in Everton's second game.<\/p>\n

Everton are yet to score a goal this season, so Toffees fans will be desperate for Beto to make an instant impact.<\/p>\n
