Paris Saint-Germain have signed Everton forward Moise Kean on a season-long loan contract.
The 20-year-old Italy international has featured rarely in the Premier League this campaign for in-form Everton and now finds himself joining the reigning French champions and beaten Champions League finalists.
Kean has scored twice in the Carabao Cup so far this term but has played just 13 minutes in the Premier League, as Everton have won all of their first four matches.
He arrived at Everton from Juventus on a five-year deal last summer but has failed to settle at Goodison Park.
Although Kean featured in 29 league matches last term, he only found the net twice as former manager Marco Silva was sacked and substituted by Carlo Ancelotti.
French champions PSG have seen the contracts of Edinson Cavani – who looks set to join Manchester United – and Eric-Maxim Choupo-Moting expire and seem keen to bolters their attacking choices which already include Neymar, Kylian Mbappe and Mauro Icardi.
“I am really proud and happy to become a Paris Saint-German player,” Kean told PSG’s club website. “It is one of the best clubs in the world as shown by their Champions League campaign last season where they reached the final.
“I look forward to playing alongside some of the best players in the world.”
PSG are also interested in signing Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger and Tottenham’s Dele Alli on loan, with both players having seemingly fallen out of favor at their respective clubs.
He will hope to recapture the form he showed for Juve and Italy before his move to England, with a series of strong performances and goals as a teenage sensation exciting fans in his home country.
Kean joins compatriots Alessandro Florenzi, who also arrived on loan in the summer transfer window, and Marco Verratti in Paris.
All three were called up by Roberto Mancini for the latest Italy squad.
