Former Everton striker Marcus Bent is certain Moise Kean will leave Goodison Park before the transfer window slams shut.
Kean joined the Toffees in a deal worth an initial £25.1million from Italian giants Juventus two years ago, when Marco Silva was at the helm.
Despite high hopes, the frontman has failed to hit the heights many expected and scored just four goals in 37 appearances.
Should Everton cut their losses and let Kean exit?
Yes
No
Kean’s poor form in front of goal resulted in Everton sanctioning a season-long loan move to Paris Saint-Germain, where he excelled and bagged 19 goals in 45 outings last term.
PSG were hoping to negotiate another temporary deal for the striker earlier this summer, according to transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, but the Merseyside club would rather get Kean’s £53,173-per-week wages off the books permanently before the window closes at the end of the month.
Kean was not even named on the bench as Everton opened their Premier League campaign with a 3-1 win over Southampton.
Bent believes the 21-year-old is set to depart Merseyside in a matter of days.
Speaking exclusively to TIF, he said: “I think his days are numbered, to be honest.
“I don’t think the fans, Rafa Benitez or even Carlo Ancelotti fancied him. I think he needs to move on and he will.”
