Everton have snapped up Moise Kean in an eye catching swoop this summer.

Moise Kean has told the Telegraph that Cristiano Ronaldo was among the players who encouraged him upon learning he was joining Everton.

Everton snapped up Kean from Juve earlier this month, and the youngster quickly sought advice from Ronaldo.

The Portuguese superstar had taken the Premier League by storm during his time with Manchester United.

And Kean has revealed that Ronaldo was a supporter of his move to Everton.

“I follow the Premier League. I spoke to my companions at Juventus, I spoke to Cristiano (Ronaldo), and they told me things but I knew enough on my own. To follow my dreams and work hard – that is what Cristiano told me,” Kean revealed.

“It is part of the ambition of any player to help bring his team to the Champions League.

“Champions League is fascinating and exciting. What I want is to bring Everton into the Champions League.”

There is great excitement about what Kean could do at Goodison Park this season.

The Italian international is still only young, but he has shown plenty of promise in a Juventus shirt, and could be exactly what Everton have been looking for.

Everton failed to find a prolific scorer last term, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin leading the line fairly well, but getting more plaudits for his work rate than goalscoring.

Kean could now be given the nod to start for Everton at the weekend, when they take on Crystal Palace in their opening match of the Premier League season.
