Lads I would say that someone is from wherever they feel they’re from.
On a smaller scale for example, I was born, brought up and grew up in Walton/Anfield/L4.
I lived there until I was 26 when I moved up to West Derby. I still consider myself from Walton.
In Kean’s case, you’d have to ask him where he feels his heritage lies. It may be in both Italy and Africa.
Totally agree, as I said when someone asked about how I'd describe McCarthy.
If he'd been described as 'Italian with Ivorian heritage" it wouldn't have been an issue, but "Ivorian with Italian papers" really jarred with me as there seems no evidence to think he sees himself as more Ivorian than Italian. Even if I'm wrong I'd prefer to question that kind of thinking.
