‘Thank God’: Player’s father thrilled to see him leave Everton

Moise Kean’s father is thrilled to see his son leave Premier League pacesetters Everton for a loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain, while speaking to Le Parisien.

It is fair to say Kean Sr had been very much against that £27 million move to Goodison Park from the get-go.

Just a couple of weeks after the former Juventus sensation was unveiled on the blue half of Merseyside in the summer of 2019, he suggested that Kean had made a ‘mistake’ that he would come to regret.

A year on, it is difficult not to agree with his assessment. Perhaps father does know best after all.

After just six Premier League starts, two goals and a host of disciplinary issues, Kean was farmed out on loan with agent Mino Raiola somehow managing to tie up a move to the 2020 Champions League finalists.  

“Thank God, he is at PSG. I want to thank everyone for this. In particular the Parisian leaders but also his agent, Mino Raiola, who is one of the best agents in the world,” Jean Kean explains.

“At Everton, it was too complicated for him. The club have signed more expensive and more experienced strikers than him. Frankly, he had no place at Everton this season. It is good that he is relaunching his career elsewhere.

“Moise is very motivated and wants to show that PSG was right to take the gamble.”

Kean certainly wasn’t helped by the remarkable form of a certain Dominic Calvert-Lewin at Everton. The Toffees’ number nine has scored nine goals in six games this season after all.

It feels strange to say but, at PSG, the 20-year-old could find first-team opportunities easier to come by than he did at Goodison.

Mauro Icardi is Thomas Tuchel’s only real centre-forward and PSG will have no choice but to rotate their rather small squad during a gruelling fixture schedule.
