Everton ace Michael Keane gets close and personal with beauty blogger Lauryn Goodman… but it’s not all as it seems
Defender was snapped in Manchester as he gears up for a huge season with a World Cup spot on the line
EVERTON ace Michael Keane enjoyed a slap up meal at a plush Italian in Manchester before joking with beauty blogger Lauryn Goodman outside the venue.
But although it appears the pair enjoyed each other's company at Rosso restaurant, a snapper caught the coincidental moment the pair bumped into one another outside.
Keane, who signed for the Toffees in a £30million deal from Burnley, was dining out with mates before their chance meeting.
And Lauryn saw the perfect opportunity to break the ice with the England international when she needed help with her dress.
Obviously not shy, Lauryn asked Keane for a helping hand and he was more than happy to oblige as he zipped up her dress with a grin on his face around midnight.
The restaurant in Manchester could have been his regular had the 24-year-old decided to rejoin old club Man United.
Jose Mourinho's side were heavily linked with the England international this summer before Everton swooped to secure his signature.
United were determined to sign a central defender but ended up landing Benfica's Victor Lindelof as they look to mount a serious Premier League title challenge.

But the Toffees have their own expectations having splashed out over around £100million on seven players.
And it appears Ronald Koeman is not finished yet as he plans to revise another offer for Swansea star Gylfi Sigurdsson.
Everton launched a stunning £40m bid for the Icelandic international which was turned down as Swansea admit they will not be bullied into selling their key asset.
Sigurdsson has since rejected the chance to join Swansea's pre-season tour of the United States because he “did not feel in the right frame of mind to travel due to the current uncertainty over his future.”
The Welsh club are holding out for £50m.
