Moise Kean’s stellar form continued as he led Fiorentina to a stunning 3-0 victory over Inter Milan, scoring twice and bringing his Serie A tally to 15 goals this season. The former Juventus striker is enjoying the best campaign of his career and isn’t shy about his current success.
“Is someone missing me? I don’t know… I’m here and I’m happy,” Kean remarked after the match, subtly addressing his departure from Juventus. His focus, however, remains firmly on the present and his flourishing career at Fiorentina.
Gazzetta dello Sport detail that this season has been a revelation for the 25-year-old Italian international. His brace against Inter not only showcased his clinical finishing but also highlighted his importance to Fiorentina’s Champions League ambitions. Kean’s 15 league goals surpass his previous best tally, achieved during his loan spell at Paris Saint-Germain alongside Kylian Mbappé.
Kean’s resurgence can be attributed to his hard work and the support he’s found at Fiorentina. “You just have to believe,” he emphasized post-match. “I’ve worked hard and found a team and a club that cares about me.”
With Italy national team coach Luciano Spalletti in attendance at the Stadio Artemio Franchi, Kean took the opportunity to reaffirm his candidacy for the Azzurri. “The coach knows how I work and how much I want to do well. I want to continue like this,” Kean stated, demonstrating his ambition to feature prominently for both club and country.
Fiorentina’s summer investment of just over €12 million to bring Kean from Juventus is proving to be a masterstroke. While Kean remains diplomatic about his former club, there’s little doubt that some in Turin may be regretting his departure. Under coach Raffaele Palladino’s system, Kean’s abilities have been maximized, and he has reached a level of maturity previously unseen in his career.
As Fiorentina now looks confidently towards Champions League qualification, Kean’s contributions have been pivotal. His performances are not just turning heads in Italy but are also making a strong case for his inclusion in the national team setup. With Euro 2024 on the horizon, Kean’s timing couldn’t be better as he aims to translate his club form onto the international stage.
