Fans of Everton have aired that they ‘wish’ transfer rumours that have surfaced on Tottenham Hotspur’s interest in Michael Keane are true.
According to Football Insider, Spurs have had an interest in signing the defender, however, the Toffees have previously knocked back an approach (via Everton News Feed), which had fans airing that they want him gone.

Sell!!!

For the right price I would sell. I thought he was brilliant last season but he hasn’t backed it up this term. Massively missed Zouma but he’s a player that falls in and out of form way too easily and tbh I don’t think we would miss him

Would you be happy to see the club sell Michael Keane to Spurs?
Yes, he's just not good enough
No, he is a strong back up for us
This season, though, the 27-year-old Englishman has been the Toffees eighth-best performer in the Premier League, with a 6.73/10 average rating (per WhoScored). However, fans still wanted him gone. Everton signed Keane from Burnley in the summer of 2017, equalling the Merseyside club’s record at around £30 million in the process (as per BBC).
this has to be a joke? Sell now. what ever they offer

What do we think?
Judging from the responses from supporters, it is absolutely clear that they would not be all that bothered to see the Englishman shipped out of Goodison Park.
However, his average rating would suggest that he has been a reliable option so far this term, having an average rating in the Premier League which is only 0.05/10 worse than Mason Holgate’s rating (per WhoScored).
