Michael Keane to pack his bags as Everton ready ultimate bargain replacement
Michael Keane could potentially be set for a heartbreaking exit from Everton in the summer.
David Moyes has heavily relied on the English defender this season amid Jarrad Branthwaite’s fitness issues, and he has undoubtedly stood out for the Toffees.
As things stand, the 33-year-old’s contract at the Blues will expire at the end of the season, and he will feel he’s done enough to be offered a new deal.
Most fans in L4 will definitely agree that the centre-back has proven his quality in the current campaign and secured his future in Merseyside, but The Friedkin Group possibly have other ideas.
Everton want Ozan Kabak free summer transfer
Everton and West Ham United have Hoffenheim defender Ozan Kabak on their radar ahead of the upcoming transfer window.
It’s been reported that the Turkiye international is seen as an “ideal solution” by Hill Dickinson Stadium’s hierarchy, as he won’t cost anything in the coming months.
The centre-back has been described as “the ultimate bargain” due to his performances and the fact that he will be a free agent soon.
Kabak has previous Premier League experience, playing on loan for Liverpool and Norwich City.
The 25-year-old has had a resurgence in the Bundesliga in recent years, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see Keane pack his bags if the Merseyside outfit sign him.

Dan Friedkin beginning to frustrate after what’s happened at Hill Dickinson Stadium
Dan Friedkin has been reluctant to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to the recruitment strategy at Everton.
Moyes has been left with a severe lack of squad depth at Hill Dickinson Stadium after TFG’s reluctance to spend money in the last two transfer windows.
The Blues’ interest in Kabak hints at the American owners trying to save funds by pursuing players who are set to become free agents.
Supporters in Merseyside are expecting a big summer under the Friedkins, and if they fail to deliver, there will undoubtedly be rumblings of dissatisfaction in L4.
