Everton to hold talks in next few weeks over striker mentioned in same breath as Neymar & Mbappe

According to a report from Corriere dello Sport [via Tutto Juve], Everton are set to hold talks regarding the future of Moise Kean. 

Signed on a five-year contract from Juventus in a deal worth a reported initial £25.1million (BBC), the 22-year-old has endured a difficult time since arriving on Merseyside.

Loaned to Paris Saint-Germain for the duration of the 2020/21 campaign, Kean netted an impressive 13 times in 26 outings in Ligue 1.

However, having returned to Goodison Park, the 12-cap Italy star made a swift return to Turin for what is supposed to be a two-season long loan with an obligation to buy for £24million (Sky Sports).

The Italian outlet, via Tutto Juve, have claimed that Juventus ‘are not satisfied’ with the young striker and will be ‘looking for a solution’ with the Toffees.

Discussions are said to be scheduled for the ‘next few weeks’ with the Old Lady plotting to send Kean back to Merseyside and end his loan spell.

Upon signing, Everton supporters were rightly excited about landing a player who had already made waves in Italy at senior and youth levels.

However, thus far it’s proven to be a disastrous move for a player recently likened to Kylian Mbappe, Neymar and Mauro Icardi by PSG ace Pauleta.

So far this season Kean has scored five times and provided one assist in 31 appearances across all appearances – a far cry from the form shown in France that earned rich praise from Mauricio Pochettino.

Still under contract at Goodison Park until 2024, Everton may be in no hurry to renegotiate with Juventus, so this could be one to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.
