Everton hero Nevin insists Benitez can create ‘attacking force’ with Kean
Former Everton winger Pat Nevin thinks Rafa Benitez can create a dangerous attacking force by keeping Moise Kean.
The Italian striker, signed from Juventus for €27.5m in 2019, was viewed as a player with immense potential after scoring six goals in 13 Serie A appearances in his breakthrough season in Turin.

The 21-year-old regained some form in Paris, scoring 13 goals in 26 league outings, but the club’s pursuit of Lionel Messi has ended their desire to secure a permanent deal.
And Nevin, who made over 100 top-flight appearances for the Toffees, believes Benitez should try and convince Kean to stay at Everton.
“I watched Moise Kean before he came to Everton, and I thought that was going to be one of the best pieces of business in the club’s history,” Nevin told TribalFootball.com, on behalf of British Gambler.
“He looked amazing before arriving, but it just hasn’t worked out for him so far.
“If Rafa can get the best out of him alongside Dominic Calvert-Lewin, then they will be quite an attacking force.
“Rafa has gone in there and decided to improve the strength in depth Everton needed to compete in the Premier League.
