Aston Villa, Newcastle United, West Ham United make approach for Moise Kean
Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing resurgent Italian striker Moise Kean from Serie A club Fiorentina this summer.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Moise Kean could return to England in the summer transfer window, although Luciano Spalletti wants him to remain in Italy. Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and West Ham United have submitted an enquiry to sign the Fiorentina striker. The resurgent Italian international has a release clause worth €52 million in his contract with the Serie A club.
Moise Kean and his revival
Moise Kean has resurrected his stuttering fortunes since joining Fiorentina from Juventus last summer. The once highly-rated striker struggled to make his mark after ending his first stint with Juventus, with his spell with Everton being disastrous. While he landed on his feet after returning to Juventus, the move to Fiorentina has been the game-changer.
The 25-year-old has been one of the most productive strikers in the world this season, amassing 23 goals and three assists in 39 appearances across all competitions. Kean’s exploits have not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs across Europe. Premier League outfits, in particular, are keen on signing the player, with Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and West Ham United vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
A man in demand
Aston Villa might dip into the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window. While Ollie Watkins has been exceptional for the West Midlands club, it is unclear if Marcus Rashford will seal a permanent move to Villa Park. So, Kean has emerged as a viable target for Aston Villa. Interestingly, all three Premier League clubs have submitted an enquiry to sign the resurgent Italian international.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Moise Kean is understandable. The Tyneside outfit will part ways with Callum Wilson in the summer transfer window, and they will dip their toes in the market for a striker. So, Kean is an option worth considering, with Newcastle United having the funds to afford a deal worth €52 million.
As for West Ham United, Niclas Fullkrug and Evan Ferguson have struggled to make their mark in the 2024/25 season, with both new arrivals failing spectacularly. So, West Ham should pursue a striker in the summer transfer window, with Kean emerging as a viable target.
The resurgent Italian international has a release clause worth €52 million in his contract with Fiorentina. Aston Villa, Newcastle United, and West Ham United should have the funds to afford a deal worth €52 million for the 25-year-old striker after submitting an enquiry for him. It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for a player who might feel he has unfinished business in England.
