from Villarreal last summer for \u00a327 million, the Toffees&#8217; eighth-biggest signing of all time, but it was far from the ideal debut for the Frenchman at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.<\/p>\n<p>Barry has fallen down the table since the end of February and has been used as a substitute for manager David Moyes in the last six Premier League games, with Beto replacing him at centre-forward.<\/p>\n<p>Although Moyes&#8217; side lost 2-1 to Liverpool in the Merseyside derby, Beto scored for the fourth time in the last three games, suggesting Barry could take a break from work to return to the starting XI with five games remaining.<\/p>\n<p>    However, the 28-year-old had only scored four goals in the Premier League all season before his recent purple patch, indicating Moyes may need to bring in a more consistent striker in the summer transfer window.<\/p>\n<p>Parrott has scored an astonishing 30 goals in all competitions for AZ Alkmaar this season, and is attracting attention as a member of the Ireland national team, making him a perfect fit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"table-container\">\n<table border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\" style=\"\"

advantage in the race to sign the Ireland international, who is believed to have been a boyhood Toffees fan.<\/p>\n<p>The former Tottenham Hotspur man plays in the Eredivisie but has had a much more
