Hoddle big fan of Man Utd, Liverpool target Keane

Tottenham legend Glenn Hoddle has no doubts about the quality of Burnley defender Michael Keane.

Keane has been linked with Liverpool, Tottenham and former club Manchester United for the summer market.

Hoddle wrote for the Mail on Sunday: "It's no coincidence he's so often in the right position. He has strength as well and showed for England that he can bring the ball out. It's interesting to see the big clubs lining up to sign him, including his old club, Manchester United.

"A player still isn't developed enough at 22, which is when Keane left United for Burnley. And sometimes clubs can neglect the development of a young player once he's filling a first-team spot and let him learn on the job. But that doesn't seem to have happened at Burnley.

"He's had the best combination of first-team experience and a coaching staff who have continued to develop his game."
