da 888casino: Everton striker Moise Kean has shown Carlo Ancelotti the worst he has to offer, after struggling to produce in an “ineffective” debut for Paris Saint-Germainm following the Italian’s loan move to the French capital.
da lvbet: Kean joined the Ligue 1 giants late into the delayed international transfer market, with Ancelotti sanctioning a one-season deal which reports by France Football, via the Daily Mail, suggest features an option to buy for €20million (£18.08m) next summer.
Ancelotti rarely trusted the 20-year-old to play for Everton last term, with the Blues boss awarding his compatriot just four starts in the Premier League and 12 appearances from the bench, which returned two goals.
The forward remained on the bench for Everton’s opening games of the current campaign before joining PSG, whom he made his debut for against Nimes Olympique on Saturday as part of an attacking trio alongside Kylian Mbappe and Neymar.
Kean did not start as he means to go on at the Costieres Stadium, with RMC Sport noting that thee 8-cap international was “ineffective in front of goal” and he did not participate in many of the visitor’s worthwhile attacks.
The French publication also say that Kean will have blamed himself for failing to open his account against Nimes, having squandered a glorious chance to score when he broke one-on-one against Baptise Reynet minutes before half-time, only to smash his effort wide.
Kean later struck the woodwork with a header, but he ended the match with just 22 touches, despite playing the full 90 minutes, per SofaScore.
Kean’s efforts were so poor against Nimes that French outlet L’Equipe, via Sport Witness, slated his performance, only awarding the 20-year-old a four out of ten rating – the lowest of any PSG player.
Only two Nimes’ players scored lower than Kean, too, who will have to improve over the comings months if he wishes to remain at the Parc des Princes beyond his loan spell or return to Goodison Park and fulfil the potential which saw Everton pay Juventus £25.1m to sign him.
SofaScore data from PSG’s win over Nimes also shows Kean to have only directed one shot on target, whilst he missed the mark three times, lost two of five ground duels, two of three aerial duels, turned over possession three times and committed two fouls.
The forward was able to beat his marker with each of his two attempted dribbles and he provided one key ball, completed each of his 10 passes and made one interception. But Kean’s overall “ineffective” performance left much to the imagination as he made his PSG debut on the wrong foot.
AND in other news, Carlo Ancelotti must regret starting a £21.6m-rated man vs Liverpool after his challenging performance.
