Everton ready to ditch £30m summer signing

 

Everton will listen to offers for £30m signing Michael Keane at the end of the season after just 12 months at the club, reports The Daily Mirror.

 

The Toffees fended off interest from Manchester United to sign the England international from Burnley in the summer but the 25-year-old has endured a tough season.

 

Burnley are monitoring Keane’s situation at Everton but will not pay anything close to the £30m they made from his sale over six months ago.

Keane is not the only summer signing to struggle at Everton this season, with club-record arrival Gylfi Sigurdsson also failing to justify the club’s £50m outlay.

 

Sam Allardyce has also conceded that January arrival Cenk Tosun has struggled to adapt to the Premier League, raising serious questions about the future of director of football Steve Walsh.

 

Despite facing an uncertain future at the club, Keane has still featured in 19 of Everton’s 26 league matches this season.

 

However, he is on course to achieve his lowest ever WhoScored rating in a single Premier League season, having not dipped below a 7.00 during his two previous top-flight campaigns.
