Moise Kean has made light of the leap from English Premier League to Ligue 1 Uber Eats and the Paris Saint-Germain forward insists he can still learn a lot from his world-class teammates in the French capital.

Kean only turned 21 at the end of February, but has been a familiar face at some of Europe's top clubs since making his debut for Juventus as a 16-year-old. 

 

He then joined English top-flight side Everton in summer 2019, but scored just twice in 29 Premier League matches last term. He already has 11 goals in just 19 appearances in France's top division, and surrounded by the likes of Neymar, Kylian Mbappé, Marquinhos and Keylor Navas at the Parc des Princes, Kean told The Ligue 1 Show there is a lot more to come.

 

"I'm here to learn. These guys are great, experienced players, I'm only young, so I'll sit back and learn from them," said the Italy international. "Ligue 1 is a good championship, that's why I wanted to come to PSG, to learn alongside top players and to try to help the team."

 

With Mauro Icardi often in the treatment room this season, Kean has filled the gap left by the former Inter Milan forward's absence, and then some, averaging a goal every 119 minutes on the pitch for the French champions.

 

"He's a versatile player who can play all across the attack. He's effective when he plays on the left, on the right, or through the middle," said PSG coach Mauricio Pochettino, who has the young forward available for Sunday's trip to Lyon after Kean sat out the last two league matches due to COVID-19.
