Everton 'appalled' by 'unacceptable' Moise Kean party amid coronavirus lockdown
Everton have issued a statement after Moise Kean hosted a party in breach of the Government's coronavirus lockdown guidelines.
Everton are “appalled” with Moise Kean after the 20-year-old allegedly hosted a party at his home breaking the Government’s coronavirus lockdown rules. The Toffees have read the riot act to £25.1million striker for breaching strict guidelines.
According to the Daily Star, Kean filmed himself partying at his Cheshire apartment. It is alleged the 20-year-old sent video clips to a private Snapchat group. The footage is captioned “quarantine clean”.
Everton will reportedly begin disciplinary action against Kean.
A statement from the Toffees said: “Everton are appalled to learn of an incident in which a first-team player ignored Government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis.
“The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.
“The amazing people in the NHS deserve the utmost respect for their hard work and sacrifice.

“The best way to show them respect is by doing everything we can to protect them.”
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti will be particularly furious with compatriot Kean.
Discussing the coronavirus crisis, Ancelotti recently said: “What matters is that the health of all people is assured. It is for this reason that we must follow the advice of the Government.”
Kean’s actions could speed up his departure from Goodison Park after a nightmare maiden campaign.
