Well, boys will be boys. Especially when you’re a hot-blooded redneck, young and footloose ‘n fancy-free.
Everton’s Moise Kean actually had the audacity to film himself partying at home with guests in a breach of social distancing regulations during the coronavirus pandemic. The club, enraged, have labelled Kean’s actions “unacceptable” after he flouted the lockdown restrictions.
The striker who joined from Juventus for a reported £24million last summer is most likely to be hauled up to face disciplinary action.
A club statement read:
“Everton Football Club was appalled to learn of an incident in which a first team player ignored Government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis.
“The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.
“Everton has regularly stressed the importance of following all the Government guidelines – including rules and advice for inside and outside of the home – through a series of official communications to all staff members, including players.
“The amazing people in the NHS deserve the utmost respect for their hard work and sacrifice. The best way to show them respect is by doing everything we can to protect them.”
Kean is the latest addition to the list of Premier League players to flout the rules after Jack Grealish and Kyle Walker were forced to proffer their apologies for breaching the restrictions with their thoughtless, misguided actions while Serge Aurier and Moussa Sissoko also apologised for openly training together last week.
The 20-year-old Kean has failed to impress in his debut season in England having scoring just once in 26 games for the Toffees.
This is certainly not the best way to make an impression, surely!
