Everton have signed Portuguese striker Beto from Udinese on a four-year contract for an undisclosed fee.
Beto, 25, who scored 21 Serie A goals in two seasons with Udinese, is the Merseysiders fifth summer signing after the two clubs agreed a reported £25.75m (€30m).
Everton boss Sean Dyche said: "He has impressed in a top league like Serie A for the past two seasons and scored goals.
"As a powerful striker who can carry the ball, hold up play, is strong in the air and works hard for the team, he has a lot of attributes that we hope can see him prove to be a success with Everton."
Dyche, whose side play at Doncaster in the second round of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday, had previously added Ashley Young, Arnaut Danjuma, Youssef Chermiti and Jack Harrison to his squad since the end of last season.
Beto joined Udinese from Portuguese side Portimonense in the summer of 2021 and after netting 11 times in his debut campaign in Serie A, he followed up with 10 more league goals last season.
Dyche's bid to sign a proven striker was brought into sharper focus when the injury-prone Dominic Calvert-Lewin was forced out of Everton's recent 4-0 defeat at Aston Villa after sustaining a facial injury on his return to action.
Beto told Everton TV: "When a club like Everton tries to buy you in January and then comes again in the summer, you feel like, 'OK, they want me for real', so that made the decision easy for me as well.
"My idol, Samuel Eto’o, played here, too, which makes it even more special.
"I can bring courage, I can bring confidence and I think my biggest thing is effort. I will always bring enthusiasm to the team and to our games. I feel like my style is a really good fit with Everton."
Arsenal have completed the permanent signing of Spain's World Cup-winning defender Laia Codina from Barcelona.
The 23-year-old centre-half started in all four of Spain's World Cup knock-out matches and scored in their 5-1 last-16 win against Switzerland.
Arsenal head coach Jonas Eidevall said: "Laia is a world-class defender and I'm delighted to be working with her here at Arsenal.
"She has a great mix of technical ability and physical presence and we believe this will allow her to adapt to our style here quickly.
"She has considerable experience of playing at the highest level and winning trophies, so I'm confident that she will be an excellent addition to our squad moving forward."
Shamrock Rovers have boosted their ranks with the signing of Tiegan Ruddy.
The former Republic of Ireand underage international player joins the Hoops from FC Sion in Switzerland.
"I'm delighted to be signing for Shamrock Rovers," she said. "Personally, it is a great opportunity to get back to enjoying my football again. The set-up is very professional, the players and the staff have been great and have made me feel very welcome."
Head coach Collie O’Neill added: "She is a very versatile player and I think she will be very important for us in the final part of the season in our efforts to secure a trophy."
Meanwhile, First Division Kerry FC have announced that their leading goal scorer Ryan Kelliher has become their first professional player, signing a contract which will see him stay at the club until the end of the 2025 season.
In his debut senior season, the 22-year-old Killarney native has scored 10 goals across both league and cup competitions.
