Club Career
Youth career
Kean was first noticed by Renato Biasi, who inserted him in the youth teams of Asti before offering him to Torino. In 2010, however, instead of renewing with Torino, he was signed by the team's cross-city rivals Juventus (until a player is of 14 years of age, the contract is annual and in constant renewal). In his final season in the Juventus youth teams, in 2015–16, he scored 24 goals in 25 games.

Upon doing so, he became the club's youngest-ever debutant and the first player born in the 2000s to compete in one of Europe's four major leagues.
