Mino Raiola has revealed Everton have ‘no intention’ of letting Moise Kean leave in January despite having a ‘stack of requests’ for the young striker.

Kean joined Everton in the summer transfer market in a highly publicised deal from Serie A giants Juventus.

It was felt at the time that the Blues had pulled off one of the coups of the summer in getting the young striker, who is highly regarded around Europe, to head to Goodison Park.

However, his time in England has not been a happy one thus far, with him yet to get his first goal for the club and often finding himself out of the team.

That had led to speculation he could be on the move in January, with a host of Italian sides keen to take him and offer game time ahead of Euro 2020.

However, the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti at Everton has seen a change in circumstance for the youngster, and according to Raiola, there is now no chance of him leaving next month.

“They’re not happy with him, but they’re very happy with him,” he told La Repubblica.

“They know it just takes time because in Premier League the technical and physical values are higher and Serie A doesn’t prepare you enough.

“In this sense, Kean is like Balotelli, a talent so precocious that he missed some growth phases, but he has to recover because he has gaps.

“I have a stack of requests for him on my desk, but Everton has no intention of selling him or him to leave.”
