Everton complete signing of 19-year-old Moise Kean

Everton have completed the signing of 19-year-old striker Moise Kean from Juventus on a five-year deal.

The Italian international has joined the Merseyside club for a deal believed to be worth in the region of €40 million (£36.6 million). He has become the Toffees' fifth signing of the season, after Marco Silva's side secured the signatures of midfielders Andre Gomes, Fabian Delph, and Jean-Philippe Gbamin as well as keeper Jonas Lössl.

Speaking to evertontv, Kean said, “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 fulfill 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.”.

Everton manager Marco Silva has said he is happy with the deal going through. “A striker was one of our priority signings this summer," he said. “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. Of course, 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 Football Club.”

The 19-year-old striker made 13 appearances for Juventus last season, scoring six goals and helping the Turin side to win another Serie A.
