I'm not so sure that he will have a better impact on our team than Beto or Barry.
Both Sevilla and Fenerbahçe were built to feed En‑Nesyri with constant balls into dangerous zones, making the most of his aerial threat and last-line movement whilst hiding his weaknesses by rarely asking him to link play or receive under pressure with back to goal.
Under Julen Lopetegui, Sevilla were one of La Liga’s most cross‑heavy teams. Their structure kept one player wide and one in the half‑space on each side (e.g. Navas + Suso on the right, Reguilón/Ocampos on the left), so the opposition back line was constantly stretched horizontally.
In 2024-25, José Mourinho organised Fenerbahçe in either 4‑2‑3‑1 / 4‑3‑3 with aggressive full‑backs and creative wingers (e.g. Tadić, Saint‑Maximin) providing width and deliveries. Full‑backs were encouraged to overlap and hit early or deep crosses. In transitions, double‑pivot and 8/10s (Amrabat, Fred, Szymański) went for early through‑balls or diagonals in behind, exploiting En-Nesryi's pace rather than his hold‑up game. In 2025-26, Mourinho has shifted to a 3-4-1-2 with high wing-backs, and Talisca operating as a second striker behind the 2 forwards. There is still a big emphasis on wide attacks and crosses, with wing‑backs high and wide and the front players occupying central lanes
Everton's has a more defensive 4-2-3-1 setup. The main striker is isolated, and is asked to hold up direct passes and to link with the 10 / wide players to bring them into the game.
Moyes emphasises compactness and full-backs are not asked to overlap. Attacking width often comes from wingers/10 rather than both full‑backs bombing on, and our wingers are dribblers rather than crossers.
This set-up isn't good for En-Nesryi because of his poor first touch and limited combination play. At Sevilla and Fenerbahçe he almost never had to be a back‑to‑goal organiser; at Everton, that’s a big part of the role.
