Everton confirm Moise Kean transfer from Juventus in £29million deal

EVERTON have confirmed Moise Kean has joined the club from Juventus in a £29million deal.

The Italian forward, 19, arrived in England last week to complete his medical ahead of his move to the Toffees.

Kean was spotted wearing an Everton shirt just days earlier as Marco Silva splashed his Idrissa Gueye money on the hot prospect.

On the confirmation of the deal, Kean revealed: "I am very proud and honoured to wear the Everton shirt. I will give my best to this team.

"I was convinced to sign because Everton is a club looking to the future and so am I.

"I know about the size of the club. It has big ambition and I will work very hard to help us fulfil what we want to achieve.

"I am used to winning and I want to bring this winning attitude to the team. I hope I will be very good on the field and bring the fans joy."

No1 PRIORITY

And Kean's new boss, Silva, added: "A striker was one of our priority signings this summer.

"Moise is strong, fast, with many good qualities as a striker and he is just 19-years-old.

"He has talent and he is ready to work, ready to improve our squad and gives us different solutions.

"He was at a big club, now he's come to another big club and is ready to fight for this challenge and to give everything to Everton."

Kean is said to be signing a contract worth around £50,000-a-week, while his fee could rise to around £36m with add-ons.

Juventus were ultimately left with little choice but to sell arguably their hottest prospect - and are now favourites to sign former Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.
