Liverpool interested in Michael Keane?

Liverpool are deemed to have joined the likes of Manchester City and Everton in the pursuit of Burnley defender Michael Keane.

The 24-year-old has been instrumental to the Clarets' impressive form this campaign, but they could be tempted to cash in on his services in the summer.

Both Manchester City and Everton have expressed their interest in signing the central defender in the summer with Toffees boss Ronald Koeman in particular opening up his desire to add Keane to his squad.

According to The Sun, Keane could be the subject of further Premier League interest with Liverpool said to be keen on landing his services.

The Reds have lacked the presence of a commanding figure at the back, and there are still on the search for a new centre-half with Klopp unlikely to retain the services of Mamadou Sakho next season.

Sakho had struggled to break into the starting lineup following a fallout with the German - due to his drugs ban, and this has seen him join Crystal Palace on a short-term loan, where he has had a 100 percent success rate.
