Everton morning headlines on transfer chase and Moise Kean warning

Here are your Everton morning headlines for Wednesday, May 6.

Kean has ‘all the qualities to do well’

The coach who first discovered Moise Kean as a young footballer has insisted the striker has all the qualities to succeed at Everton - but has also sent a warning.

Renato Biasi was youth director at Kean's hometown club Asti and helped secure the player a spot in Torino's academy.

The Italian striker is yet to really fire at Goodison Park following his move from Juventus, although aged just 20, there is still plenty of time for Kean to find his form.

Biasi told  Europa Calcio : "He is still very young and had arrived in a completely new environment for him and where a different language was first spoken.

"Hopefully it's just a transition season and will recover.

"Otherwise he runs the risk of getting lost, as has happened to many other kids. He has all the technical qualities to do well. "

Government backs project restart

The First Secretary of State Dominic Raab has lent his support to Premier League plans to restart the 2019/20 campaign, saying it will ‘help lift the spirits of the nation’.

All professional football in England has been indefinitely suspended since March due to the coronavirus outbreak, and there is an insistence that it will only return when it has been given the green light to do so by health authorities.

There are hopes that the sport will resume in June, with Raab saying: "I know the government has had constructive meetings with sports bodies to plan for athletes to return to training when it's safe.

"I can tell you that the culture secretary has been working on a plan to get sport played behind closed doors when we move to the second phase, so that is something we are looking at.

"Of course, the key point though, we can only do it when the medical advice and scientific advice is that it can be done safely and sustainably but certainly that is something under active consideration."

United rival Everton for Lozano

Manchester United have reportedly entered the race for Napoli winger Hirving Lozano, who has been linked with a move to Everton. 

According to Corriere dello Sport, cited by  Football Italia , the Mexico international - who has no long-term future at the Serie A club - is now wanted by United.

Sevilla are said to have dropped their interest in the 24-year-old and England appears to be an increasingly likely destination for the player.
