The father of Everton striker Moise Kean says his move to Goodison Park was a mistake.

Kean has struggled to make any impact since his surprise £24.5million move to Merseyside from Juventus last summer and is now struggling to get a game.

Dad Jean blames agent Mino Raiola for forcing him to move to Everton for money rather than the good of his career.

He is quoted by The Sun, "Sending my son to England was a mistake, because he's still a young boy, he's not feeling good at Everton, I didn't like this transfer.

"I hope he can get back to Italy right away, I hope Rome, the important thing is that he comes back here.

"I have no relationship with Raiola, I never met him, I don't even want to see him.

"He demanded my son's power of attorney when he was 14 and together with my ex-wife he wanted to take [him] to England.

"If there is a possibility of sending him back to Italy, I hope he can come back, so as not to ruin him.

"I did not understand why Juventus sold him, I think only for an economic question. I heard that Sarri didn't want him, after Allegri instead valued him.

"If my son were to tell me that Rome is interested in him, I would give my blessing to this operation.

"I send a message to my son Moise: listen to me well, I am your father of blood, return to Italy to play, you will become a great soccer player, come and play in Rome, alongside your dear friend Nicolo Zaniolo.

"Don't think about money, but your career."
