Kean started his trade in the Juventus youth teams after brief stints at Asti and Torino. 24 goals in 25 games in his final season for the youth team saw him promoted to the first team for the 2016/17 season. Making his top flight debut at just 16 years and 23 days old, he made only three appearances for the Bianconeri in his first season and scored his first goal in their final league game away to Bologna. He was then loaned to Verona for the 2017/18 campaign where he made 19 appearances, scoring four goals. He then again returned to Juventus where he scored six goals in 13 league games. The first player born in the 2000s to score in Europe's top five leagues, the Italian is regarded as one of the brightest upcoming talents in world football. Physically strong, he also possesses great technique which allows him to link up play and function as a target man with his back to goal. He is also known for his work rate off the ball and does not shirk his defensive responsibilities. His aerial threat is suited to an Everton squad that has Digne and Sigurdsson's excellent crossing abilities and his hold up play should allow Richarlison to flourish as well. He has been given a price tag of 7.0m in Fantasy Premier League (FPL), 1.0m more than their current striker Calvert-Lewin and is unlikely to displace the Englishman from the starting lineup right away given the lack of preseason training with the Blues. However, once he settles in, he could be a bargain at that price with Everton's strong starting fixtures and creative engine.
