Juventus chief makes attitude claim over Moise Kean after striker's Everton transfer

Juventus sporting director Federico Cherubini has commented on the attitude of Moise Kean after the striker made his return to the club.

The Everton man had rumours surrounding his future throughout the summer, initially being linked with a permanent switch to Paris Saint-Germain after a successful loan spell with the French side last season.

However, in the closing stages of the window, the 21-year-old i nstead had his return to Turin confirmed - initially on a two-year loan with the obligation to make the switch permanent if certain parameters are met.

And now the club's sporting director has been speaking about the attitude of the young striker, with some having questioned that during his time at Everton.

The Juventus chief is not concerned, however, and he believes that he will excel in the right environment.

Cherubini told Tuttosport [via InsideFutbol ]: "So, I take all the risk of what I’m about to say.

"I’ve known Kean for many years and I don’t want to tell you that he’s a saint, but in football, getting labelled is very easy, taking them off is very difficult.

"I talked to Leonardo and he told me that Moise had very normal behaviour.

"We are talking about a 20-year-old who will not have the maturity of a 30-year-old, but I know him: he is a boy full of values and, if he finds the right environment, he is a footballer who can give so much.

"I don’t see the bad boy we are talking about."

Kean left Everton having made 39 appearances in all competitions for the club, scoring four goals in that spell.
