News now: Michael Keane close to Everton move after…
Everton’s former chief Keith Wyness has claimed Michael Keane could now depart following the arrival of Jake O’Brien.
Speaking on the new edition of Football Insider’s Inside Track podcast, the 66-year-old – who served as CEO at Goodison Park between 2004 and 2009 and now runs a football consultancy advising elite clubs – claimed the Toffees also need to add more full-back cover in the remainder of the summer window.
Everton confirmed the capture of O’Brien on Tuesday (30 July) – with the 23-year-old signing a four-year deal on Merseyside.
Lyon have revealed that the Toffees paid £16.5million to land the ex-Crystal Palace ace, while the French club will also be due a 10% sell-on fee.
The Republic of Ireland international became a fixture in Ligue 1 last term and has now earned a Premier League move.
Keane, 31, has less than 12 months to run on his deal at Everton and featured sparingly in the 2023-24 campaign.
