Moise Kean edges Juventus closer to another Scudetto

Moise Kean continues to score for Juventus and his latest heroics against AC Milan bring them closer to the Serie A title.

It has been an eventful, for lack of a better word, week for Moise Kean. From the abhorrent racist abuse after scoring against Cagliari to the adulation from Juventus fans after scoring the winner against Milan, he’s gone through a lot in the better part of a week.

At just 19 years of age, Moise Kean has delivered in big ways for the Vecchia Signora. The teenager has now scored in five consecutive games for Juventus and has cemented himself as a viable option up front for Allegri whether it be starting or coming off the bench.

The goal was an important one not simply because it was against a bitter rival but because now ensures, as if there was any doubt before, that the Bianconeri will win the Serie A title for the eighth consecutive season. The win means that they are just one point away from carving their name on the trophy.

For Moise Kean, it’s been a bit of a breakthrough season. The hype heading into the season was all about Cristiano Ronaldo and how he was the player that would finally lead Juventus to a Champions League title. While that may very well be the case, the club have found a forward for the future in the young Italian.

What he suffered against Cagliari was horrible and, yes, it’s only been one game but it takes a lot of courage to go back out there and try to put that in the back of your mind. He had the fortune that he was playing at the home but there’s always a group of people who will be prejudice despite playing for the team they root for.

Kean’s contract runs out in 2020 and with his increased role with the team in the second-half of the season, Juventus would be foolish to not extend that contract. If not, there will be no shortage of suitors for the aforementioned Kean.
