Arsenal, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing resurgent 25-year-old Italian striker Moise Kean from Serie A club Fiorentina.
According to a report by Italian outlet Tutto Mercato Web, Moise Kean has garnered a market in the Premier League amid his resurgence in the 2024/25 season. Arsenal, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are keen on signing the Fiorentina striker in the summer transfer window. The three English top-flight outfits have established contact over a move for the Italian international, who will cost around €52 million.
Moise Kean and his resurgence
Moise Kean has established himself as one of the best players in Serie A since joining Fiorentina from Juventus in July 2024. The Vercelli native was among the most highly-rated prospects in his homeland after graduating from the youth division at Juventus. However, spells with Everton and Paris Saint-Germain yielded little dividends before the stint with Fiorentina helped him land on his feet.
The 25-year-old has been exceptional in his debut season with Fiorentina, amassing 20 goals and three assists in 34 appearances across all competitions. Meanwhile, Kean’s resurgence has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known outfits across Europe. Premier League clubs, in particular, are keen on signing the player, with Arsenal, Newcastle United, and West Ham United vying for his signature.
A man in demand
Arsenal will dip into the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window amid the inconsistent performances of Gabriel Jesus and Kai Havertz in front of the goalmouth. So, several candidates have emerged on the North London club’s radar. However, Kean is also a viable target for Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United’s interest in Moise Kean is understandable. The Magpies are in a spot of bother over Callum Wilson’s long-term future. In addition, Alexander Isak is a target for several Premier League bigwigs, including Arsenal. So, the Italian international is an option worth considering for Newcastle United.
As for West Ham United, Niclas Fullkrug has struggled with fitness issues since arriving from Borussia Dortmund last summer. In addition, Evan Ferguson will likely return to Brighton & Hove Albion after his loan spell ends. So, Kean has emerged as a viable target for West Ham United. The three Premier League clubs have established contact over a possible summer move.
The 25-year-old Italian international has a release clause worth €52 million in his contract with Fiorentina. Arsenal, Newcastle United, and West Ham United should have the funds to afford a deal worth €52 million to sign Kean from La Viola in the summer transfer window.
