# Leeds: Whites linked with Moise Kean

**[Leeds United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/leeds-united-news/) have been linked with a late summer move for Juventus forward Moise Kean.**

### The Lowdown: Kean profiled

The 22-year-old is [primarily](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/profil/spieler/364135) a centre-forward who can also play on the wing.

The Italy international joined Everton in 2019 in a deal worth [£27,5m](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/49214067), but things didn’t work out for him on Merseyside as he scored just [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/364135) times in [39](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/364135) appearances.

He is now back on loan with Juventus, who have an [obligation](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/moise-kean/profil/spieler/364135) to sign him permanently, but it looks as if the Bianconeri are already looking to find a new home for the striker.

### The Latest: Leeds linked with Kean

According to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.it/2022/08/20/calciomercato-juventus-kean-leeds-newcastle-depay/), both Leeds and Newcastle are eyeing up a late summer move for Kean.

The report claims that both clubs are willing to spend around €20m (£17m) on the forward, who doesn’t appear to feature in Massimiliano Allegri’s plans in Turin.

### The Verdict: Avoid

Andrea Radrizzani and the 49ers Enterprises appear to be keen on spending big on Kean, but it could be a massive gamble.

The forward has struggled to settle after progressing through the academy with Juventus and didn’t exactly light up the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) with the Toffees.

He has been described as a player with “[so many qualities](https://www.radioradio.it/2020/06/ancelotti-allenare-la-roma-lasciamo-lavorare-fonseca-kean-grande-talento/)” by his former manager Carlo Ancelotti but seemed to have [behavioural problems](https://thetopflight.com/2020/04/26/moise-kean-throws-lockdown-party-poor-behaviour-continues/) in England, so there’s every chance that he might not be the right type of character for Leeds.

It could be a rumour to keep an eye on, though, following an update from a reliable Italian source, with Leeds seemingly in need of a new first-team forward given the [recent injury scares](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiwn9-H1Nf5AhUKLMAKHb2BCFMQFnoECB0QAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.leeds-live.co.uk%2Fsport%2Fleeds-united%2Fleeds-united-news-marsch-addresses-24752530&usg=AOvVaw3koRrZX3uDUdfMp-dWXSpx) to Patrick Bamford and Joe Gelhardt.
