Striker Moise Kean has revealed his delight after putting pen to paper on a five-year deal with Everton and says he’s looking forward to the challenge of playing in the Premier League.

Having scored eights goals in 21 appearances for Serie A champions Juventus, Kean has decided to leave the Old Lady and test himself in the English top flight. The fifth signing of the summer for manager Marco Silva, Kean says he knows all about Everton’s status as an established Premier League club and now he wants to help them challenge for silverware in the seasons to come.

“I am very proud and honoured to wear the Everton shirt. I will give my best to this team,” said Kean. “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.” Silva was delighted to get the deal over the line and feels Kean is a great addition to the squad at Goodison Park. “A striker was one of our priority signings this summer,” the manager 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.”

Everton are 2.43 to win in 90 minutes, the draw outcome is currently trading 3.00 and Crystal Palace can be backed at 2.97 when the Premier League resumes on Saturday.
