Moise Kean may only be 24 years old but he has already played for numerous clubs - Juventus (three times), Hellas Verona, Everton, Paris Saint-Germain and Fiorentina.

It seems he has finally found a home with the Viola as he is currently playing some of the best football of his career.

Premier League Player of the Week - Moise Kean

Kean has eight goals in 10 starts in Serie A this season and three of those goals came in a superb hat-trick at the weekend as Fiorentina defeated Hellas Verona 3-1.

His first came only a few minutes in as he displayed superb strength to hold off the defender and lash a strike into the corner, while his second was neatly stabbed home from a corner-kick. The third goal was the best of the bunch as he marauded down the left wing, cut inside and whipped a fabulous strike low into the bottom right corner.

The Italy striker remarkably only completed four passes during his time on the pitch, but did record more touches inside the opposition box than any other player in Serie A on Matchday 12, with 11.

Who else made the Team of the Week?

Rafael Leao (8.6) has received plenty of criticism for his overall form this season but was excellent at the weekend, even if Milan didn't win in a 3-3 draw with Cagliari. He scored two goals on the day - the first was lofted over the oncoming keeper and the second was vintage Leao as he used his electric pace to run through the middle and round the keeper to slot home.

Roma suffered yet another defeat this season but Stephan El Shaarawy (8.4) was unlucky to be on the losing side as he scored two goals in the 3-2 loss to Bologna.

Como earned a 1-1 draw away at Genoa and two of their midfielders, Nico Paz (8.0) and Lucas Da Cunha (7.7), make the midfield in our Serie A Team of the Week. They are joined by Matteo Guendouzi who sent 22 passes into the final third, made six ball recoveries and misplaced just four out of 54 attempted passes as Lazio won again, this time at Monza.

The best-performing defender of the weekend was Cagliari's Gabriele Zappa (8.7), who was actually more effective at the top end of the pitch as he scored two in the 3-3 draw with Milan.
