Meet Moise Kean: The 16-Year-Old Wonderkid Included in Juventus' First Team Squad for Udinese Clash

Published on: 14 October 2016

"?Football fans are notoriously eager to see the next big thing to roll off the production line at the club they support.


Only last week, Celtic included 13-year-old Karamoko Dembele in their Under-20s side to much hype and anticipation on social media.


Juventus have gone one step further this week, however, by calling up 16-year-old wonderkid Moise Kean to their first-team squad for Saturday's Serie A clash with Udinese.

The forward has put in a string of impressive displays for Juve's youth team throughout the course of the campaign, and has five goals in five games in all competitions already this term.


And I Bianconeri manager Massimiliano Allegri is said to have been so impressed with Kean's performances that he felt he could not leave the striker out of his side's home encounter with Udinese.


Kean, who has been capped 11 times by Italy's Under-17 team, is represented by a certain Mino Raiola, and has already drawn parallels with compatriot Mario Balotelli in terms of playing style.

Kean will wear the number 34 shirt for Juventus in Saturday's match and, if he manages to get onto the field of play, will join AC Milan goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma as another sparkling talent to emerge in Italy's top flight.


Remember the name 'Moise Kean'. We could be seeing a whole lot more of him in the future.

Big weekend!!
