Everton: 5 options for Moise Kean replacement and Calvert-Lewin backup
Here are possible Moise Kean replacements that Everton must consider
Everton are staring at an imminent sale of Moise Kean. The 21 year old struggled to make an impact in his debut season at Goodison Park before eventually moving out on loan to PSG last summer. Courtesy of the loan deal being without a buy option, the Ligue 1 giants will have to negotiate a transfer separately but Juventus also dream of a reunion.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has been on an uphill trajectory this season and has shown the Everton faithful that they have a fierce, instinctive striker who could feature in the forward line for years. Even though the Englishman has slowed down a little in the second half of the season, it doesn’t overshadow the fruitful campaign he has had.
The Toffees have struggled to have a strong backup to DCL. Cenk Tosun was ineffective before he left on loan to Besiktas. The Royal Blues managed to sign Joshua King on a short loan from AFC Bournemouth on winter transfer deadline day. The Norwegian has made cameo appearances and is yet to start a game for the Toffees, posing questions over his long term stay in Merseyside.
Everton strengthened their defence and midfield last summer but this summer one of the agendas would be to find a Moise Kean replacement who will also act as a Calvert-Lewin backup in the team.
