Everton & Juventus flop Moise Kean 'becomes a man' after overcoming love triangle as Fiorentina striker fires back at 'lazy' accusations with goal-scoring exploits

Kean scored just four goals in 39 matches for Everton, and his fortunes did not improve in his second spell at Juventus, with the striker registering 14 goals in 102 games. Reports in Italy branded the Italy international as 'lazy and irritating', and then Kean was allegedly involved in a love triangle with Federica Fornasiero, a marketing specialist at Novara, and India Noelle, an influencer.

Reports now suggest the 25-year-old is with Noelle, after being pictured in a close-up photo with her hand raised above her face. Now that he has scored 21 goals in 35 appearances in his debut season for Fiorentina, Gazetta dello Sport has since written that 'the child prodigy has become a man' following his Juve exit.

In an interview with Pentasport, Kean's brother Giovanni believes a change of scenery has been good for the Italian.

He said: 'In Florence, he immediately perceived trust, it was what he needed. At Juventus, we expected greater consideration, but Fiorentina immediately convinced us of the project. He needed a place like Florence. He is doing very well. He is a very reserved person; he rarely opens up to people or goes around the city. In Florence, he likes the warmth of the people, and compared to Turin, he already goes out more. He is really doing well."

Fiorentina will hope Kean is at his best when they travel to AC Milan in a battle between eighth and ninth in Serie A, respectively, on Saturday.
