Everton striker, Moise Kean is set to be fined £100,000, equivalent of two weeks’ wages, for holding a sex party during COVID-19-induced lockdown.
He is believed to earn £50,000 weekly.
The Italian, 20, held the controversial party in his Cheshire home and invited models who were seen in videos giving lapdances to men present while touching their crotches.
In a statement, the club said it was “appalled” by the player’s disregard for government regulations in respect to the lockdown and club policy.
The statement read, “Everton are appalled to learn of an incident in which a first-team player ignored government guidance and club policy in relation to coronavirus.
“The club has strongly expressed its disappointment to the player and made it clear that such actions are completely unacceptable.
“The amazing people in the NHS 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.”

The Sun UK quoted a source close to the striker, “Clearly, Moise and his friends didn’t think the rules applied to them.
“The party was wild and went on until the early hours. Premier League stars are getting paid huge salaries and not working.
“That must be infuriating enough for people who are losing jobs or taking pay cuts. Do they think they are above the rules?”
Manchester City defender, Kyle Walker sparked outrage earlier in the month after holding a house party with a friend and two call girls during lockdown.
Both Moise Kean and Walker live in Cheshire, a county in northwest England.
