Burnley are in for a transfer bonanza as four clubs chase after Michael Keane.

According to a report in The Sun Manchester United are favourites to sign the defender but face competition from Spurs, Everton and Liverpool.

Keane has been a rock in the heart of the Burnley defence with Sean Dyche’s side within touching distance of Premier League survival.

The 24-year-old moved to Turf Moor in a £2m deal three years ago but is now expected to fetch around £30m as Burnley cash in on the form that has taken the defender into the England side.

It’s believed that a return to Manchester United would be Keane’s preferred choice but in a World Cup season securing regular first team football will be a priority.

Everton are the club most likely to provide that but with the three other clubs competing for Champions League football the defender will have a lot of options to consider in the close season.
