Moise Kean agrees to join Everton

Everton are poised to complete the signing of the Italian youngster, Moise Kean for £36m.

The Toffees have no problem in stumping up the cash for the 19-year-old who is available this summer.

Keen has expressed his willingness to make the switch to Merseyside, reports Goal.

But Juventus are wanting to include a buy-back clause for the academy graduate.

Kean’s game time in Italy in currently limited by the amount of attacking options available.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s monopoly of the centre-forward position has had a knock-on effect on several Juventus forwards, one of which is Kean.

The club recognise his talent, especially given his impressive early goalscoring record for them and Italy.

However, they appreciate they cannot offer him the minutes he currently needs to continue his development.

Everton, meanwhile, are in the position to do so and are looking to recruit in attack having sold Ademola Lookman to RB Leipzig.

Richarlison was Everton’s top goalscorer last term with 13, but Marco Silva is looking to crack the top six and believes adding quality in the final third will assist with those ambitions.

The Toffees were previously linked with one of Kean’s team-mates – Mario Mandzukic – as they look to add some firepower this summer.

The Croatian is also free to leave Turin this summer if the right club come calling with the right fee.

Gonzalo Higuain is in the same boat despite teaming up with Maurizio Sarri for a third time.

The Argentine forward is on Roma’s radar and could make a move to the Italian capital.

While Paulo Dybala could be the most high profile of Juventus’ attackers to move on with rumours of a move to either Tottenham or Manchester United still rife.

His agent has previously stated Dybala’s desire to remain at the Italian champions, but the matter may be taken out of his hands.
