Everton have been paved the way to sign Michael Keane following Victor Lindelof's move to Manchester United.

Keane had been subject to interest from the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Everton this summer following his impressive performances for Burnley last season.

And the Toffees have now been handed a huge boost in their hopes of signing the 24-year-old.

As reported by the Express, Everton have been given an oppurtunity to sign Keane after United secured the services of Swedish defender Victor Lindelof instead.
