Everton boss Carlo Ancelotti insists he can work with Moise Kean.

The 19-year-old has endured a difficult start to life at Goodison Park since his £24million switch from Juventus in the summer. The Italian was disciplined by the club for breaching their rules last month and was also taken off just 18 minutes after being introduced as a substitute against Manchester United last week.

But Ancelotti says: “Moise Kean did very well last year and we tried to buy him at Napoli, but Everton arrived first.

“He is a top talent, but he is 19 years old and he has to adapt. He arrived here in a new country, new team-mates, everything was new here for him.

“I had the same problem with Hirving Lozano at Napoli, who is not 19 years old, but 23, 24.

“It takes time. When I was a player I remember Michel Platini arrived from St Etienne to Juventus, it took six months – and that was Platini."
