Burnley centre-back Michael Keane is expected to leave the club this summer, with top Premier League clubs clamouring over his services.

Manchester United lead the race for his signature, with Chelsea, Everton and Tottenham all also linked, the MEN report.

Keane’s sale will net Burnley £25 million, a substantial fee which would provide Sean Dyche with more than enough to secure his own top targets.

This windfall could be doubly bad news for Leeds United, who face missing out on the Championship play-offs.

Burnley have their sights set on signing centre-back Kyle Bartley, according to The Sun, who has impressed this season loan at the Yorkshire side.

With regular Premier League football on offer, Bartley would find it tough to resist.

He is owned by Swansea City who saw him as surplus to requirements, and an exit from South Wales this summer appears inevitable.

Burnley’s interest makes Leeds’ job a lot harder, but another report suggests the Clarets could deal the Whites a double blow.

CalcioMercato report Burnley are one of five Premier League teams keen on signing Leeds’ top goalscorer Chris Wood, after an impressive 25 goals campaign.

With The Mirror reporting Tottenham are plotting a move for Burnley frontman Andre Gray, Sean Dyche could have even more funds available to put towards signing the New Zealand ace.
