Why Tottenham should steer clear of Moise Kean

Tottenham Hotspur need a new centre-forward this summer and have been linked with a move for Moise Kean.
According to Calciomercato, ‘one of the names Roberto De Zerbi is interested in is Kean’. He would love to bring him to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.
He reportedly has a €62 million release clause in his deal with Fiorentina, but they will let him go if Spurs offer around €50m.
Kean has enjoyed a renaissance since returning to Italy following some uninspiring spells in England and France.
The Italian international (26 caps, 13 goals) bagged 25 goals in 43 appearances last season, although his productivity has dropped this term.
Tottenham are preparing to lose Randal Kolo Muani this summer after an underwhelming loan spell, and Richarlison might follow him out of the exit door.
Spurs took a massive £65m punt on Dominic Solanke, but he has been a disappointment. The club needs a lethal striker to provide competition for the Englishman.
Kean is not the man Tottenham are looking for. The 26-year-old is currently short on confidence, and it makes no sense to sign him.
Hw has scored only eight goals in Serie A this term, a significant drop from his 19 last season. He has missed 18 big chances.
Kean struggled in the Premier League at Everton, notably failing to adapt to the English game’s physical demands.
His hold-up and link-up play was not up to scratch, forcing the Toffees to cash in. Tottenham cannot afford to make the same mistake.
Unfortunately, the transfer market is not filled with many young, reasonably priced 20-goal-a-season strikers, but Kean is not the way to go.
Benfica’s Vangelis Pavlidis should be on the Spurs transfer radar after another brilliant season in the Primeira Liga.
If they return from their long-term injuries before the end of the season, Samu Aghehowa and Joaquin Panichelli must also be considered.
