​Everton manager Silva: Kean is not new Lukaku

Everton manager Marco Silva does not want to see comparison between Moise Kean and Romelu Lukaku.

Kean is a young center forward who arrived from Juventus this summer.

The teenager has a big reputation but has a lot to prove in the Premier League.

Silva just does not want to see lazy comparisons to Lukaku because of slight similarities in their play style.

"You have to be calm and don't start making these comparisons," said the Blues boss to reporters.

"Moise Kean is Moise Kean and Lukaku is Lukaku. Cenk is Cenk, Dominic is Dominic and Richarlison is Richarlison.

"It doesn't make sense to make these comparisons. We are happy he's here with us and the boy is also happy to be in our football club.

"Now it's up to him to keep working hard and do the things I expect from him and our fans expect from him.

"The comparisons are not fair on him. He's 19 years old and it's unfair to put this pressure on him."
