Leicester interested in signing Burnley defender Michael Keane

Leicester City are plotting a £10millon move for Burnley defender Michael Keane. 

Claudio Ranieri sees the former Manchester United United Keane as the man to put pressure on Wes Morgan and Robert Huth, his first-choice central defensive pairing. 

Keane joined Burnley from Manchester United in 2015 and played a key role in them winning the Championship last season and securing promotion back to the Premier League. 

Leicester are expected to table a formal bid for Keane, who has two years left on his contract with Burnley, in the coming days. 

However,Burnley want to keep hold of Keane but accept it will be hard to do so if Leicester are willing to pay up to £10m for a player that cost them just £1.5m from United.
