Moise Kean

Bioty Moise Kean (pronounced [ˌmɔis ˈkɛn][4] or [- ˈkin];[5] born 28 February 2000) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a forward for Serie A club Fiorentina and the Italy national team.

Kean started his professional career with Juventus in 2016, winning a domestic double (league and cup) in his first season with the club.

[12] Kean made his professional debut for Juventus on 19 November 2016, at the age of 16 years, 265 days, coming on in the 84th minute for Mario Mandžukić in a 3–0 Serie A win over Pescara.

[13][14][12] On 22 November, he became the first player born in the 2000s to feature in a UEFA Champions League match, after being substituted on in the 84th minute of a 3–1 away win over Sevilla.

[17][18] On 10 September, he made his debut for Verona in the Serie A as a substitute, replacing Alex Ferrari in the 46th minute in a 5–0 home defeat against Fiorentina.

[27] Juventus teammate Leonardo Bonucci was heavily criticised after stating that Kean was partly to blame by his celebration which caused further jeers.

[note 1][28] England international Raheem Sterling deemed Bonucci's comment "laughable",[29] compatriot Mario Balotelli, English rapper Stormzy,[30] and former Juventus player Paul Pogba[31] all also defended Moise.

[35][36] On 10 August, he made his Everton debut in a 0–0 draw against Crystal Palace in the Premier League, coming on as a substitute for Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

[42] He made his debut in a 4–0 league away win against Nîmes on 16 October; he did not score a goal, but saw a headed attempt ricochet off the crossbar.

[45] On 10 February 2021, Kean made his Coupe de France debut; he scored the only goal of the match in a 1–0 win over Caen to take PSG to the round of 32.

[46] Kean's first goal in the Champions League knockout stage came on 16 February, scoring a header in a 4–1 away win at Barcelona in the first leg of the round of 16.

[68] On 20 November, aged 18 years, 265 days, he made his senior debut with Italy in a friendly match against the United States in Belgium, which eventually ended in a 1–0 victory.

[75] Regarded as one of Italian football's most promising prospects, Kean is a quick, tenacious, and physically strong forward, with good technical skills and an accurate shot.
