English Premier League side 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 owing to the coronavirus pandemic.

The 20-year-old striker filmed himself hosting the party, the Daily Mirror reported on Saturday (April 25), saying that he 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 him – 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 statement.

“The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.”

The club added that all their staff had been informed of the government guidelines, which include one piece of exercise a day and to restrict oneself to social interaction with just those of the household.

“Everton has regularly stressed the importance of following all the government guidelines – including rules and advice for inside and outside of the home – through a series of official communications to all staff members, including players,” they said.

“The amazing people in the NHS (National Health Service) deserve the utmost respect for their hard work and sacrifice. The best way to show them respect is by doing everything we can to protect them.”

Kean, signed for £24 million (S$42.3 million) from Juventus last year, is one of several Premier League players to be held to account for breaking the guidelines.

Manchester City and England defender Kyle Walker reportedly broke lockdown rules by hosting a party involving two sex workers.

Tottenham’s Ivory Coast defender Serge Aurier and French midfielder Moussa Sissoko apologised for training together despite the coronavirus restrictions.

Their Portuguese manager Jose Mourinho “accepted his actions were not in line with protocol” after being pictured holding a one-on-one training session in a park with midfielder Tanguy Ndombele.
