Frank Lampard must sell Everton defender Michael Keane amid West Ham interest
Everton must sell Michael Keane in the summer transfer window, irrespective of where the club finish at the end of the season.
The Toffees are fighting for survival and if they get relegated the club may have to sell some of their first-team players.
Even if they stay up, Frank Lampard should still sell Keane after his diabolical and inconsistent performances this season.
According to a report from Daily Star on 23 April, West Ham are heavily interested in signing the experienced defender.
The Hammers boss, David Moyes, is a keen admirer of the player, and he wants to bring him to the London Stadium in the summer.
The 29-year-old joined the Toffees for around £25million in July 2017, and he still has got a contract till 2025.
Everton could hope to recoup some money from his sale, and the club should look to explore that option.
Why?
The reason is simple. Keane cannot be trusted.
There are times when Keane has looked like a world-class player while there have been games where he was shocking.
Trevor Sinclair hailed him as a “liability” for his poor performance against West Ham earlier this season, and he is not wrong about him [talkSPORT’s breakfast show [8:25, April 4th].
Keane is error-prone and he comes up with costly mistakes at the wrong time. For example, in the 1-0 defeat against Manchester City, he lost his concentration around the 80th minute gifting the goal to Phil Foden.
If Lampard is looking to re-build a team, he needs players whom he can trust.
