In what appears to be one of the best pieces of business in this summer’s transfer window, Everton was able to land 19-year-old striker Moise Kean from Juventus on a five-year deal in a £27.5m move.
Over the past season, Kean had the honour of playing and training alongside one of the best players of all-time in Cristiano Ronaldo.
In a recent interview, Kean revealed that he sought out Ronaldo’s advice prior to making the move to Goodison Park.
“I follow the Premier League. I spoke to my companions at Juventus, I spoke to Cristiano (Ronaldo),” he told reporters.
“And they told me things but I knew enough on my own. To follow my dreams and work hard – that is what Cristiano told me.”
Kean then added that he believes playing with players of Ronaldo’s calibre has given him the ambitious goal of giving Everton Champions League football.
“I’ve had the fortune of playing with very strong players like Cristiano Ronaldo,” he said. “Of course, I’ve learnt a lot and that’s what I’ll bring with me. It will help me to reach my target.
“It is part of the ambition of any player to help bring his team to the Champions League.
“Champions League is fascinating and exciting. What I want is to bring Everton into the Champions League.”
Kean could potentially make his bow this Saturday in Everton’s Premier League opener at Crystal Palace.
