Everton striker Moise Kean has emerged as a possible transfer target for AS Roma.

Corriere dello Sport are claiming the misfiring Toffees striker could depart Goodison Park in January with the Champions League side throwing their name into the hat.

AC Milan have also been linked (Calciomercato), as have Sampdoria (Telenord).

Roma sporting director Gianluca Petrachi is said to be trying to arrange a loan move for Kean, who cost £27.5 million from Juventus this summer (BBC Sport).

Kean has endured a frustrating start to life in the Premier League, playing in 11 matches without fining the net.

It was also reported this week (BBC Sport) that Kean was dropped from the squad to face Southampton because he was late for a team meeting – the second time it’s happened since he’s been at the club.

TBR’s view – Roma move could suit Kean

Kean appears to be really lacking confidence at the minute, and he probably hasn’t been helped in recent weeks by Marco Silva.

Maybe he is wilting under the pressure of his price tag, and a move back to his homeland could be the perfect solution for him to regain some confidence.

He is still very young and he only made 21 first-team appearances for Juve, most of those as a substitute, and so a chance to go back to Italy for regular minutes could do him the world of good.
