Everton have received plenty of interest for Moise Kean, but have no intention of selling the Italian.

Kean has failed to deliver on his potential following his £25m move from Juventus in the summer.

But his agent Mino Raiola insists the striker is highly thought of at Goodison Park and is receiving plenty of leeway as he looks to make the transition from Serie A to the Premier League.

“Everton aren’t happy with him, rather they’re absolutely delighted,” Raiola told Italian newspaper La Repubblica .

“They know that it’s only a matter of time with him because in the Premier League, the technical and physical demands are higher and Serie A doesn’t prepare you enough.

“In this sense, Kean is like [Mario] Balotelli, such a precocious talent who has skipped stages of his development but must recover because there are gaps.

“I have a stack of requests for him on my desk, but Everton have no intention of selling him or him of leaving.”

Kean has failed to score in 18 appearance thus far with the Toffees themselves struggling before Carlo Ancelotti's arrival.

He is fighting for a starting berth with the Richarlison, Dominic Calvert-Lewin who have 18 goals between them this season.

Ancelotti's arrival may prove to be a catalyst however with the former Napoli coach admitting he tried to sign Kean while he was in charge at the Stadio San Paolo.

"I tried to sign him before he signed for Everton," he said.

"He is a fantastic player, we have to remember he is only 19. We have to wait and work with him. He has a top quality."

The Toffees have been linked with a move for Zlatan Ibrahimovic given the Swede's history with Ancelotti, but the 60-year-old dismissed the speculation.
