Background
Moise Kean is a striker for ACF Fiorentina and the Italian national team, born on 28 February 2000 in Vercelli. Previously at Juventus, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain, he joined Fiorentina in 2024 and produced one of his best scoring seasons. On 31 March 2026, Kean gave Italy the lead against Bosnia and Herzegovina in the 15th minute, scoring what proved to be Italy's only goal of a playoff that ended in penalty defeat. Alessandro Bastoni's red card in the 41st minute changed the match entirely.
Kean's early strike was one of relatively few positives from Italy's campaign. His career has been characterised by flashes of genuine quality interrupted by inconsistency and off-field issues at previous clubs. The Fiorentina move revived his form and made him Italy's most reliable attacking option heading into the playoff, even if the squad's structural problems extended far beyond the striking position.
