Leeds faces Burnley in the battle of Keane
The list of new potential defenders to sign does not stop there, because according to the Liverpool Echo, Leeds is one of the teams interested in signing Michael Keane from Everton.
Keane, who has been in Goodison Park since July 2017, is out of contract at the end of this month, and although he remains in talks on a new contract, he is more likely to leave. This alerted Leeds, who, with Burnley and Sheffield United, want to dive and secure the defender during a free transfer.
The 32 -year -old man, who has been nicknamed “immense” in the past by Harry Redknapp, fell into the hierarchical order in Everton in recent seasons. Keane went from 32 Premier League games during the 2021/22 season to only 12, 9 and 14 times in the last 3 campaigns.
Keane could be a viable option for whites to provide more depth behind Joe Rodon and Pascal Strujk, and there are not many free signatures on the market that offer such wealth of experience in flight.
