Everton are hoping to complete the signing of Michael Keane within the next 24 hours.

The Blues are closing in on the Burnley defender in a deal which will see them pay £25m with potentially a further £6m due in add-ons.

Keane returned from holiday on Sunday to complete his switch from Turf Moor and a medical was scheduled for today.

Ronald Koeman made the 24-year-old his No1 defensive target this summer.

Keane was interested in a return to boyhood club Manchester United but they prioritised the signing of Victor Lindelof from Benfica.

The England centre-half knew moving to Old Trafford would come without guarantees of first-team football and so indicated he now preferred a move to Goodison.

Everton opened talks with Burnley and earlier this week reached an agreement to sign Keane.
