Moise Kean might be set to play his first game since leaving Everton on deadline day.

The Italian striker joined the Toffees for £25 million from Juventus last summer but endured a dismal first season at Goodison Park.

Kean netted only two goals in 33 games for Everton across all competitions, rendering him surplus to requirements under Carlo Ancelotti.

The Merseyside outift loaned him to Pairs Saint-Germain on the final day of the summer transfer window.

And PSG boss Thomas Tuchel has revealed to Goal that Kean could make his debut in the upcoming Ligue 1 clash against Nimes.

He said: “Yeah, it’s possible, but I haven’t seen the guy yet. He’s coming in and we’re going to try to do at least one training with him and maybe he’ll play tomorrow.”

Kean needs a brilliant loan spell, if we’re honest.

His stock has fallen in a big way since his move to Everton and a goal-laden stint in the French capital would give the Premier League high-flyers a good chance to make money on him.

With PSG’s riches, they would have no problem paying top dollar for Kean if he tears up Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season, which means despite flopping at Everton, he could still be a good investment, financially speaking.
