The Toffees are now expected to step up their interest in Keane.

They also hope to land Sandro Ramirez, the Spanish striker who is available for a cut price £5.2million from Malaga because of a release clause in his contract.

It seems Keane will only leave Burnley for a club that will play him regularly, so Everton fit the bill.

Liverpool and Tottenham may also be interested in the player who has one year left on his Turf Moor contract and has rejected offers to stay on improved terms.
