Moise Kean has dropped another hint on social media that he is edging closer to a move to Everton.

The ECHO understands the Blues and Juventus are near to agreeing a fee of around £27m for the 19-year-old who will become Marco Silva's fourth signing of the summer.

Evertonians have been desperate for the club to solve their striker conundrum since Romelu Lukaku left the club in the summer of 2017, and many are excited by the potential arrival of a youngster who bagged six goals in 13 Serie A appearances last season.

And there have been a number of hints across social media over the last few days that this deal is nearing completion - with the latest coming on Wednesday afternoon.

Blues U23 star Nathangelo Markelo commented on one of the striker's recent pictures saying, "welcome bigman," along with a blue heart emoji - a message which the youngster has now liked.

This is the latest in a series of potential hints over the last 24 hours that a move to Merseyside is on the cards.

On Tuesday Giovanni Kean, the Juventus star's brother, posted two edited images of the striker wearing an Everton jersey - the second along with the caption, "@Everton people is ready for the WOAH?".

And, later the same day, the player himself posted a cryptic message of his own on Facebook.

Kean posted a picture of himself appearing to be stepping off a plane along with the caption: "Always ready for the new challenges".
