Former Premier League star begins new career as rapper with debut album set to be released
A FORMER Premier League star is set to release his debut album while competing in Serie A.
The striker currently plays for Fiorentina but has found the way to share his time between the football pitch and the music stage.
That’s none other than Moise Kean, who made a name for himself during stints with Juventus, Everton and Paris Saint-Germain before linking up with the Viola.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Kean, 24, will launch his debut album “Chosen” on December 16.
The Italy international’s album comprises of a total of 11 rap tracks.
The centre-forward has had a long passion for music and never hid it during his football career.
Back in 2019, the Italian appeared in a video by Turin rapper Boro Boro.
And last year, Kean’s first single “Outfit” dropped and was seen performing with rap group 19F.
The forward joins a group of footballers that have tried their luck in music.
Fulham’s Alex Iwobi, Inter Milan’s Stefan de Vrij and Aston Villa’s Amadou Onana have all released songs.

But Kean is one of few footballers to have managed to release an album.
AC Milan star Rafael Leao also belongs in that small list as he dropped “Beginning” in 2021.
In fact, Kean recently revealed that he and Leao are working on an album together.
The striker spent four years at Everton, three of which were out on loan, and only managed four goals and two assists in 39 appearances before his departure in 2023 for Juventus.
Kean has rediscovered his goalscoring prowess in Italy as he’s stood out this season with Fiorentina by registering a total of 13 goals and one assist in 17 appearances.
