Leeds United and Burnley hold interest in Michael Keane as his Everton deal winds down, according to the Liverpool Echo.
Leeds United are heading for the Premier League and have money to spend this summer. LUFC know this transfer window is a crucial one in their bid to avoid an immediate drop back to the Championship.
The Whites have ambitious plans for the future and have set some lofty goals, which they won’t be able to achieve unless they can become an established top flight regular again.

It leaves a big task ahead of all at Elland Road, but especially their recruitment team. Some notable names have been linked this summer, and the latest claimed to be on the radar is Michael Keane.
According to a report from the Liverpool Echo, Leeds United have an interest in Everton centre-back Keane as his deal on Merseyside nears expiry.
The 12-cap England international is down the pecking order under David Moyes and could opt against a new deal in favour of finding more minutes elsewhere.
LUFC are not the only ones with eyes on Keane’s situation though, with Burnley also said to be keen. It is added that Sheffield United had eyed him as a potential option if they won promotion too.
