Ladbrokes have made Arsenal the new favourites to sign Burnley star Michael Keane.

Popular bookmakers Ladbrokes have installed Arsenal as the new 6/1 favourites in the race to sign Burnley centre-back Michael Keane by the end of the January transfer window.
The 23-year-old former Manchester United man drew the attention of various Premier League clubs over the summer, but eventually stayed at Turf Moor.

Ladbrokes actually have the Gunners at a slightly shorter price to sign Keane by next summer, listing them at 4/1 to sign the Burnley man by the end of the 2017 summer window.
The16-capped England under-21 international has been in sensational form for the Clarets over the past couple of seasons.
He appeared in all but two of Burnley’s games in their Championship winning campaign last term, and has partaken in every single minute of their Premier League season thus far.

He is obviously one of Sean Dyche’s favoured players, and with his contract not due to expire until the summer of 2018, it would surely take a fairly substantial offer from the Gunners to tempt Burnley into selling.
With Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny both on the wrong side of 30, it would be no surprise at all if Arsenal moved for Keane, whether it be this January, or next summer.
Keane recently received a call up to the England senior side after Glen Johnson’s withdrawal.
