# Exclusive: Marcus Bent claims Moise Kean didn’t fit Everton’s style

**Speaking exclusively to [The Transfer Tavern](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/), former Everton striker Marcus Bent believes Moise Kean did not fit the Toffees’ style.**

Much was expected from Kean after he joined Everton from Juventus for around [£27m](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11671/11777207/moise-kean-joins-everton-from-juventus) back in 2019.

However, the 21-year-old failed to live up to expectations, scoring just [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/364135) goals for the club before returning to Juventus this summer.

All in all, a very disappointing spell, though Bent does have sympathy for Kean, suggesting that the Italian just simply did not fit into Everton’s style.

On Kean, the ex-Toffees player told **TT**:

*“I just feel he didn’t fit Everton’s way of playing in a sense and he didn’t get his opportunities.”*

While things did not work out for him at Everton, Kean is hardly a bad player.

The [£31.5m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/profil/spieler/364135)-rated Italy international really impressed during his loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain last season, coming up with some big goals for the French side, including [against Barcelona](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdaten/spieler/364135/plus/0?saison=2020) in the Champions League.

And at 21, he has plenty of time to improve and iron out the kinks in his game. Having Dominic Calvert-Lewin, though, and Salomon Rondon to cover the Englishman, Rafael Benitez will probably be content with his current forward options at Goodison Park.
