What Juventus ace Cristiano Ronaldo told Everton's Moise Kean ahead of Premier League move

Everton striker Moise Kean has revealed what his former Juventus team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo told him ahead of his move to the Premier League.

Kean played alongside the talismanic goalscorer in the 34-year-old's debut season in Italy, as the pair helped the Turin outfit retain the Serie A title.

And the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, who spent six years in England with Manchester United, offered the young Italian some important advice.

Kean, who put pen-to-paper on a five-year contract with the Blues last week, told reporters: "I follow the Premier League. I spoke to my companions at Juventus, I spoke to Cristiano (Ronaldo).

"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."

Speaking in Tuesday's press conference Kean detailed how he will use the lessons he has learnt by training alongside one of the all-time greats, in Ronaldo.

"Of course, I’ve learnt a lot and that’s what I’ll bring with me. It will help me to reach my target."

Another goal the 19-year-old rising star is focused on achieving is bringing European football to Goodison Park.
