Everton said they are "appalled" at one of their players widely reported to be Italian international Moise Kean hosting a house party contravening the social distancing measures recommended by the British government due to the coronavirus pandemic. The 20-year-old striker filmed himself hosting the party, the Daily Mirror reported.
The Mirror says Kean sent video clips to a private Snapchat group, with the footage showing female guests giving lap dances.
The caption on one picture was labelled 'quarantine clean'. Everton issued a statement expressing their fury at the player's actions - they did not name Kean - on a day when the death toll in hospitals in the United Kingdom passed the 20,000 mark.
"Everton are appalled to learn of an incident in which a first-team player ignored government guidance and club policy in relation to the coronavirus crisis," read the club statement.
