Moise Kean has swapped Serie A champions Juventus for Everton, the 19-year-old agreeing a five-year deal with the Premier League club.

Everton have confirmed the capture of highly rated Juventus teenager Moise Kean.

The Italy international has signed a five-year contract at Goodison Park and joins a club who finished eighth in the Premier League last season.

Moise Kean expressed his delight at signing for the Merseyside club: "I am very proud and honoured to wear the Everton shirt. I will give my best to this team," he told Everton TV. "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," Kean continued.

Everton manager, Marco Silva was also delighted to get the ex-Juve man. "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," were the reasons for his transfer.

Kean will be reportedly paid three million pounds a season and the fee could go up to 36 or 37 million pounds including add-ons.

Kean, who has been capped three times by his country, scored six goals in 13 Serie A appearances last term.
