The Toffees ace and Goodison Park summer signing has made the cut for the prestigious award.
A number of fans – Everton supporters and neutrals alike – have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the news that Goodison Park summer signing Moise Kean is in the running for the 2019 Golden Boy award.
The 19-year-old is one of 20 players who have made the final cut for the prestigious accolade, awarded by Italian newspaper Tuttosport for the best player under the age of 21 to be playing in the top tier of European football.
Kean was signed by Everton in early August from Juventus, joining Marco Silva’s side for an initial fee of £25.1million that could rise to £27.5million, according to BBC Sport, and his arrival was met with much fanfare given his talent and potential – he is “destined for greatness”, according to Italy manager Roberto Mancini (iNews).
The Italy Under-21 international has featured in every Premier League game for the Toffees so far, albeit with just two league starts (Transfermarkt), and he is yet to get off the mark for the Goodison Park side amid a tough start for the entire team this term.
Here is how some fans reacted on social media to Kean’s nomination:
Three other Premier League players also make the shortlist in Manchester City’s Phil Foden, Matteo Guendouzi of Arsenal and Chelsea’s Mason Mount.
