Everton agree deal to sign Moise Kean from Juventus for initial £29m


Everton have a concluded a deal with Juventus to sign Moise Kean for an initial €32m (£29m) and the foward is due to fly to England on Wednesday to finalise the move.

The signing of the 19-year-old Italy international would be a significant coup for Everton, who have also sold midfielder Idrissa Gueye to Paris Saint-Germain for a fee understood to be €32m.

Everton could end up paying €40m for Kean with add-ons and have agreed to pay him £2.75m a year. The player, who had one year remaining on his contract, scored six Serie A goals in 13 appearances last season and has played three times for Italy.

Marco Silva had hoped to keep Gueye at Goodison Park this season but the player was determined to join the French champions. “I wanted to give a new boost to my club career by joining Paris St-Germain, one of the most structured and ambitious sports projects in Europe,” Gueye told his new club’s website.

Everton have made a substantial profit on the 29-year-old Gueye, who signed from Aston Villa for £8m in 2016. The Senegal international has previously played in France for Lille from 2008-15.
