It’s been a fantastic week in the life of Michael Keane.
In addition to making his England debut against Germany on Wednesday night and almost keeping a clean sheet in an impressive defensive display, he’s emerged as a prime transfer target for Everton and Liverpool – according to The Daily Mail.
But without meaning to sound disrespectful, Merseyside is a massive step up from Burnley, who play in a well-organised defensive system that simplifies the demands on the centre-backs to predominantly clearing high balls into the box.
With that in mind, we asked our readers earlier this week whether the young England international, rated at in excess of £20million, would struggle to adapt to life at Anfield, where centre-backs have to defend much higher up and cover much larger areas.
Well, the result of our exclusive poll is now in and a staggering 75% voted against the notion, suggesting they believe Keane would be a bit of a hit at Liverpool. Well-liked by pundits and Reds fans alike, few would be surprised to see Jurgen Klopp launch a bid this summer.
