Everton: Moise Kean has been a ‘disappointment’ says pundit
Everton star Moise Kean could be set to leave Goodison Park in the summer with the player's agent, Mino Raiola, keen for the youngster to secure a transfer in the upcoming window and Roma have expressed an interest in the former Juventus striker.
The Toffees signed Kean from Juventus on a five-year deal last summer for an initial fee of £25.1million that could rise to £27.5m.
However, the 20-year-old has struggled to adapt to the Premier League in his debut season.
So far this campaign he has only managed to find the back of the net on one occasion in 26 games for the club in all competitions, with 19 of those appearances coming off the bench.
However, according to Italian publication Corriere dello Sport, he could be set to return to Serie A next season, although his departure from Merseyside would not necessarily be a permanent one.

The report claims his agent Raiola is working on a loan deal, with Roma showing interest in the Italian international.
Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti is also said to back a loan move, which would not include an obligation to buy the player.
However, the 60-year-old Italian also has eyes on a Roma player this summer and Kean's temporary move to the Stadio Olimpico could help facilitate that.

Ancelotti wants to add Cengiz Under to his squad this summer.
The 22-year-old winger has fallen down the pecking order at Roma with boss Paulo Fonseca favouring Justin Kluivert at his position.
The left-footed right-winger has only made 20 appearances for Roma and has scored three goals in all competitions.
Everton expressed an interest in the Turkey international in January, although no deal was reached when Roma placed a £34m (€40m) price tag on the youngster.

However, Under could be used as a sweetener in the deal to take Kean back to Italy, which could mark a fresh start for both players.
Kean recently hit the headlines when he broke coronavirus lockdown rules by hosing a party at his house.
