Raiola: Everton not happy with Kean, they're...

Super agent Mino Raiola insists Everton management are delighted with Moise Kean.

Raiola placed the former Juventus striker at Everton this summer, with the youngster battling for form so far this season.

But his agent insisted to Le Repubblica: ":I would not have taken him to the Premier League if he did not speak perfect English, because it is very rare for an Italian guy to adapt abroad. Let's ask why Spain and France continue to export players and we do not.

"But if I had let him stay in Juve, would they have forced him to play in Serie C?

"A reserve with Everton? They are not happy with him, they are overjoyed. They know it only takes time. Kean is like (Mario) Balotelli, a talent so pure that he has skipped some growth stages - he has to recover these because he has some gaps."
