Everton are said to be thinking of selling Michael Keane, and Newcastle United should consider moving for the defender.

According to the Daily Mirror, Everton are open to offloading Michael Keane, and Newcastle United should put the defender right to the top of their transfer wishlist.

Keane has had a difficult time at Everton this season, and it seems that he could be set for a swift exit from Goodison Park.

The England international was only brought to the Toffees back in 2017, but there appear to be doubts over whether he will be able to make the step-up.

And Newcastle should attempt to capitalise on Everton’s doubts over the 25-year-old’s quality.

Keane may not have found form at Everton, but he still has a great deal of quality.

Keane proved at Burnley that he could be a stand out defender in the Premier League, and he still has time to develop.

Keane is not in his prime yet, and he could fit in perfectly with Rafael Benitez’s side.

If Newcastle could partner Keane with Jamaal Lascelles in the heart of their defence, they would have an enviable defensive pairing.

Lascelles and Keane both play with passion and power, and if Newcastle are able to stay in the Premier League, then they should make the Everton man their first priority for the summer transfer window.
