Michael Keane to leave Goodison Park in summer as Everton transfer news emerges

Bryan King believes Michael Keane will be sold by Everton after a recent transfer reveal.

The ex-Everton scout claims that the centre-back will be one of several players sold this summer as the Blues look to balance the books.

It comes after a report from iNews (24 April) revealed that Hull City’s Jacob Greaves, who was named in the Championship Team of the Season, is of interest to the Toffees.

And King – speaking exclusively to Goodison News – believes Greaves could be brought in to replace Keane.

“Everton will need to sell players this summer, we know that,” King said.

“Keane will be one of the players to go, he is definitely going to be sold. “So do they bring in Greaves to replace him in the squad? We shall have to wait and see.”

Everton defender Michael Keane finished at Goodison Park

Keane – who joined the Blues in 2017 – has hardly had a look in under Sean Dyche this season.

The defender has made just four Premier League starts from nine overall appearances in the competition.

With the 31-year-old’s contract on Merseyside set to expire in June 2025, this could be the perfect time for the club to cash in. While they are unlikely to raise an eye-watering fee for Keane, any kind of money is likely to be welcome at Goodison.
