He becomes Everton’s fifth summer signing, for an undisclosed fee that could rise to a reported £36m.
“I am very proud and honoured to wear the Everton shirt. I will give my best to this team,” said Kean.
“I was convinced to sign because Everton is a club looking to the future and so am I. I know about the size of the club. It has big ambition and I will work very hard to help us fulfil what we want to achieve.
“I am used to winning and I want to bring this winning attitude to the team.”
On signing Kean, Everton manager Marco Silva said: “A striker was one of our priority signings this summer.

“Moise is strong, fast, with many good qualities as a striker and he is just 19 years old. He has talent and he is ready to work, ready to improve our squad and gives us different solutions.”
