Who is Moise Kean? Rising star who has moved to Everton from Juventus

Moise Kean is one of the most exciting young players in the world; an Italian international, Serie A champion and important figure in the fight against racism, while still in his teens.

Sportsmail takes a look at the dynamic forward who has joined in a deal worth up to £27.5million from Juventus to Everton.

WHO IS MOISE KEAN?

He is billed as the future of Italian football. A powerful and skilful striker, 19-year-old Kean scored seven times for champions Juventus last season in 16 games and has already won three caps for Roberto Mancini's Italy, scoring twice in European Championship qualifiers against Finland and Liechtenstein in March.

Super-agent Mino Raiola can spot a prospect and he snapped up Kean (pronounced Cay-an) early to join the likes of Matthijs De Ligt, Gianluigi Donnarumma, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Paul Pogba in his stable.

WHAT'S HIS PLAYING STYLE?

Imagine Marcus Rashford with Mario Balotelli's physique. Kean, whose idol growing up was Balotelli, can play anywhere on the front line and can physically bully defenders brute strength or terrorsie them with blistering pace and trickery. He also scores his share of straightforward goals by being in the right place inside the penalty area.

He's been under the spotlight since becoming the first player born in the 21st Century to feature in the Champions League, when he played for Juventus against Sevilla, aged just 16. He's the youngest Italian ever to score in consecutive internationals.

At one stage last season, he also boasted the best goal-to-minutes ratio in the big European leagues but he struggled in the last couple of months. He failed to score in the Under 21s European Championship when Italy disappointed on home soil.

ITALIAN FOOTBALL HAS A PROBLEM WITH RACISM

Like Raheem Sterling, Kean wasn't intending to become a spokesman for black footballers but has become an important figure in the fight against abuse.

Born in Italy to a father from Ivory Coast, Kean reacted to racist chanting by Cagliari fans in April by scoring a goal against them and then celebrating by holding his arms aloft in front of his abusers.

He posted a message on social media: 'The best way to respond to racism' and the incident raised national awareness about the issue. Juventus defender Leonardo Bonnucci was criticised for suggesting his team-mate should have held his emotions in check.

CAN KEAN FULFILL HIS GREAT PROMISE?

He's been getting advice from Balotelli but that's not as bad as it sounds.

'He (Balotelli) doesn't not want me to live what he's been through,' explains Kean.

Cristiano Ronaldo has been another good role model in Turin - nobody has maximised their potential better than him.

Azzurri boss Mancini will be pleased with the news of Kean's impending switch to Goodison Park.

The Italy boss has previously voiced fears that Juve's power might restrict Kean's progress. New manager Maurizio Sarri currently has Ronaldo, Paulo Dybala, Douglas Costa, Mario Mandzukic, Gonzalo Higuain, Juan Cuadrado and Federico Bernardeschi on the books.

Just five of Kean's 16 Serie A appearances have been as a starter and Mancini said: 'He has no space in Juventus. If he's going to play in another team, we'll see an awesome striker.'

SO, WHY DID HE COME TO THE PREMIER LEAGUE?

It was a big call for Juve to sell 'one of their own', an academy prospect with huge potential.

But like Callum Hudson-Odoi at Chelsea, Kean had been frustrated at a lack of regular first-team opportunities. He only had a year left on his Juve contract and gave no indication that he wanted to sign another one.

And that prompted Everton to move. Kean sealed his switch to the blue half of Merseyside on Sunday.
