Former Toffee Martin Dobson believes Everton have signed a great all-round defender in Michael Keane.
Dobson follows Burnley’s fortunes closely, having also played more than 400 matches for the Clarets in his 20-year career, meaning he has charted Keane’s progress over the past three years with interest.
After calling time on a career which saw the midfielder make 190 appearances for Everton from 1974-78, the 69-year-old worked as a scout, notably for Leicester City, and developed an eye for a player with potential
He has no doubt Keane will make a smooth transition at Goodison and that he will prove to be a defender who makes important contributions in both penalty boxes.
