Everton’s $36m forward studies rivals as goals wait
Everton’s Thierno Barry, signed from Villarreal for $36 million, is still chasing his first Premier League goal after 13 appearances. The 23-year-old says he’s learning from Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike and Newcastle’s Nick Woltemade — which, for a Toffee, sounds like sneaking into the neighbour’s garden for football lessons.
Barry insists it’s ‘me against me’ after tattooing the motto from his Basel days, staying confident his goals will come once he adapts to English life under David Moyes.
