'I am not particularly upset' - Moise Kean opens up on Everton loan departure

Moise Kean has revealed he is "not particularly upset" to have left English football after sealing a loan move away from Everton.

The striker joined Paris Saint-Germain for the remainder of the 2020/21 campaign in the closing stages of the summer transfer window having scored two League Cup goals already for the Blues this season.

However, having made the move to Merseyside from Juventus in the summer of 2019, things haven't gone as smoothly as the 20-year-old might have expected.

Now with the French champions, after having the potential to move back to Turin, the forward is looking to learn from the top strikers already in Paris.

But the youngster did make reference to the anti-racism banner displayed at Goodison Park shortly following his arrival for a home match against Manchester City.

Kean told RAI Sport [via the Daily Mail]: "I am not particularly upset to have left English football, even if the banner from the Everton fans really moved me, as I wasn't expecting it.

"It's true, I could've returned to Juve, but I made this decision along with my family to play in Ligue 1. I've been to Paris before and have relatives here.

"I hope to learn a great deal from this fantastic experience. I am young, I like to work closely with top strikers, so I can learn from their experience and their style of football."

The banner displayed for the City match featured Kean's face with the words "No Al Razzismo".
