Everton are reportedly set to land Burnley defend Michael Keane.
According to ESPN, Burnley defender Michael Keane is set to undergo a medical with Everton on Monday ahead of a £25million switch.
The Toffees have already splashed the cash, landing goalkeeper Jordan Pickford and midfielder Davy Klaassen, whilst Sky Sports claim that a £5.25million deal for Malaga forward Sandro Ramirez has also been finalised.

Young defender Nathangelo Markelo has joined the Under-23 ranks, whilst Eupen attacker Henry Onyekuru has also signed, only to be loaned straight back to Belgium with Anderlecht.
A busy summer for Everton is about to reap another reward, as ESPN report that a £25million deal has been finalised with Burnley for the signature of Michael Keane, who will undergo a medical on Monday.
Centre back Keane, 24, came up through the ranks with boyhood club Manchester United, but having failed to break through at Old Trafford, he was loaned out to Burnley in 2014.
A strong six-month spell at Turf Moor saw Keane earn a permanent move, and he was not only key in the club’s promotion to the Premier League in 2016, but also starred as the Clarets stayed in the top flight last season.

Keane has now earned two caps for England and is expected to become a key player for the Three Lions, with a move to Everton now seen as a way to put him among the Premier League’s elite defenders.
It’s claimed that Everton boss Ronald Koeman sees Keane as a perfect partner for Ashley Williams, and with a deal poised to go through, the Toffees’ impressive summer is set to continue.
