Moise Kean's Transformation: A Whole New Player Emerges

Moise Kean made a memorable Premier League appearance at Old Trafford in December 2019. The then 19-year-old was substituted on for Everton but was taken off just 18 minutes later by interim manager Duncan Ferguson. Now, Manchester United is reportedly interested in the Fiorentina striker, who has a €52 million (£45m; $61m) release clause until July 15. There is speculation that Old Trafford could be a stage for Kean's career redemption at 25.

Kean had a challenging start to his career, struggling to fulfill his potential. However, after joining Fiorentina last summer, he flourished under manager Raffaele Palladino, scoring 19 goals in Serie A. His improved performance was attributed to consistent playing time and a clear attacking role.

At Fiorentina, Kean focused on attacking the box and taking shots, resulting in a significant increase in his shot production. His intelligent movement and ability to exploit spaces made him a valuable asset to his team. Kean's performance against Verona showcased his skills in finishing, aerial ability, and ball-carrying.

Despite a tough start in the Premier League, players like Iago Aspas have proven that success can come after initial struggles. Kean's impressive season at Fiorentina suggests he has the potential to rewrite his Premier League narrative and become a potent threat in the penalty box.
