Paris Saint-Germain in talks to sign Everton striker permanently

Paris Saint-Germain have kickstarted the process to make Moise Kean's loan switch from Everton permanent, claims Sky Sports.

Kean joined the Ligue 1 champions on an initial season-long loan deal at the start of the season after enduring a nightmare year with Everton.

The Italy international has already found life better in France in the space of less than six months and now PSG want to sign the youngster on a full-time basis.

PSG are pressing ahead with the move despite sacking Thomas Tuchel and replacing him with ex-Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino over Christmas.

Everton shelled out an initial £29m to sign Kean from Juventus in the summer of 2019 and are now expected to cash in on the 20-year-old for a price in the region of £31m.

Kean made 31 Premier League appearances for Everton but only started on six occasions in that time and netted twice.

Not only has Kean already started more league games for PSG (10) but this season is already his best in terms of goals scored (7).
