A loan move to Lincoln seems like the perfect chance for Okoronkwo to shine, particularly given the uncertainty in his position on Merseyside.
Beto is expected to leave Everton for a new club at the end of the transfer window after falling out with Moyes, Sources told Football Insider.
Sources have told Football Insider that Moyes has been unimpressed by Beto’s attitude during pre-season and is unhappy that the player has not “conformed” to his methods.
Despite signing Thierno Barry, the Toffees are already looking for a new striker to replace Beto before the transfer window closes.
