# Everton leading Kean race – but would he be a success in the Premier League?

Everton are reportedly leading the race for Juventus striker Moise Kean – but would the youngster be a success in the Premier League?

According to Italian outlet Gazzetta dello Sport, relayed in an article by [Sports Witness](https://sportwitness.co.uk/everton-leading-pl-interest-youngster-player-club-decision-make/), the Toffees are reportedly leading numerous Premier League sides and Dutch giants Ajax in the race to land the forward.

Marco Silva looks set to be active in the market for a new forward this summer, with Cenk Tosun and Dominic Calvert-Lewin struggling to find the back of the net last season.

Kean is after regular first-team football next season, something the Toffees can certainly offer the teenager.

The 19-year-old appears to have similar qualities to former Everton striker Romelu Lukaku.

The Italian can hold up the ball and bring others into play, and has a real eye for goal, scoring seven goals in 17 appearances for Juventus last season.

Juventus would more than likely demand a large fee for the teenager, however, a deal could prove to be a great piece of business down the line.

Kean has plenty of time to improve on his solid all-round game, and with his powerful presence, could take to life in the Premier League with ease.
