Rumors hint that Everton could consider sending Moise Kean on loan to Juventus, only a year since he left the Serie A champions.

It’s fair to say Moise Kean has not built on the promise that saw Everton cough out €27.5m for his signature.

The 20-year-old joined the Toffees from Juventus last summer but has failed to impress.

In 29 Premier League matches, Kean only managed to score twice with two assists as well.

If that was not enough, the Italian forward also got into trouble off the pitch. During lockdown, he hosted a party that flouted isolation rules at the time. He came under serious criticsm.

Rumors even claimed Everton would sell him after the incident. Carlo Ancelotti was quick to dismiss those rumors and mentioned he has faith in Kean.

However, it appears Everton are still not fully convinced in the young striker.

Italian outlet Tuttosport claims the Toffees could even loan Kean back to Juventus or any other Serie A side. The Merseyside club are eager to see the forward regain similar form to his time in Turin.

The striker 21 official games while at Juventus but he scored a respectable eight goals in that time-frame.

Kean would have one important benefit for Juve if they take him on a loan deal. He could be included on their Champions League B list as a player who came up through their academy.

With Higuain’s future still uncertain at the club, it’s not out of place that Juventus might consider bringing back their gem.
