Everton boss Marco Silva may well opt to hand Moise Kean his debut at the weekend.
Alan Smith has expressed some doubt over Everton signing Moise Kean on Sky Sports.
Everton raised eye brows by bringing in Kean from Juventus, as the additions looks one of the most exciting signings made by any Premier League side this summer.
Kean is regarded as one of the most promising youngsters in European football, and will carry a lot of responsibility at Everton.
Marco Silva’s side have been looking for a clinical goalscorer ever since Romelu Lukaku left, and Kean has clearly been signed to fill that void.
The 19-year-old will almost certainly be Everton’s most vital player for the upcoming campaign.
But Smith has seemingly pondered whether Kean is too young to take on such responsibility.
“They do need a striker, but can Moise Kean, who is only 19, fill that role,” he questioned.
“However, it has been a good window and they are definitely a stronger outfit for the additions of Kean, Andre Gomes, Fabian Delph, Alex Iwobi and Djibril Sidibe.”
If Kean can hit the ground running at Everton then Silva’s side look among the best placed to make a run for the top six.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin led the line for the Merseyside outfit last term, but he only netted six times and there are question marks over his ability in front of goal.
Everton begin their season tomorrow with a match against Crystal Palace and it will be interesting to see whether Silva gives Kean the nod to start.
