YouTube-famous Newcastle United fan True Geordie has urged Moise Kean to join the Magpies after the Juventus forward was subjected to alleged racist abuse this week.
The 19-year-old scored Juve’s second goal in their 2-0 win against Cagliari on Tuesday, and while it should have been an occasion to remember for the Italian wonderkid, it was marred by what appeared to be racist chanting in the crowd.
When discussing the issues in Italian football, True Geordie claimed that Kean should quit Juventus and join his beloved Newcastle.
“He seems like a good player, come to the Premier League, mate,” said True Geordie on the KickOff YouTube channel [9:31 onwards].
“Come play for Newcastle. We’d love him.”

OPINION
Although the chances of Kean joining Newcastle are next to nothing, it would be the best decision for the young Italian right now to quit Juventus and move to the Premier League. The abuse that Kean had to endure on Tuesday night was horrific, and his response to the Cagliari fans after he scored his goal was perfect. However you do not expect your club captain to suggest you were in the wrong. Leonardo Bonucci suggested that it was partly Kean’s fault for the alleged racist abuse he suffered in the Serie A fixture. Juventus manager Massimo Allegri barely stood up for the Italian teenager as well, something which Yaya Toure was disgusted by. True Geordie is right to say that Kean should quit Serie A and head to the Premier League in the summer. While it’s unlikely that Mike Ashley would free up the funds to sign the in-form striker, who has scored four goals in his last four league outings, someone in the league would surely snap him up.
