England defender Keane signs for Everton in £30m deal

The England international defender has penned a five-year deal at Goodison Park.

Everton have paid an initial £25m to the Clarets, with a potential £5m more to come, which would match the Toffees' record outlay, the fee they spent to bring Romelu Lukaku to the club from Chelsea.

Having become Burnley's most expensive player in history, Keane said the chance to work with former Netherlands and Barcelona defender Ronald Koeman was too good to turn down.

Ramirez to join Everton

The Toffees are said to have met the 21-year-old's buy-out clause of 6m euros.

If Everton complete the deal they will have successfully beaten off competition from Juventus to secure his services.

The Malaga player is currently with Spain's under-21 squad in Poland.

 

Swansea out of bottom three

The Welsh side needed three points to leapfrog Hull City into 17th place after the Tigers lost 2-0 to already-relegated Sunderland earlier in the day.

And that is exactly what happened during a nervy encounter at the Liberty Stadium as Llorente nodded home from a Jordan Ayew cross in the 29th minute to seal a vital win for the Swans.

They now have 35 points - one more than Hull - while Everton missed the chance to go into the top six above Arsenal and remain in seventh spot.

Rooney will consider Everton

With reports of a new two-year contract for Zlatan Ibrahimovic plus long-term interest in Atletico Madrid's Antoine Griezmann, Rooney's 13 years at Old Trafford appear to be coming to an end.

Sky Sports News HQ understands Everton did make an approach to Jose Mourinho in the January transfer window to enquire about loaning United and England captain Rooney for the rest of the season.

United immediately rebuffed the approach for the 31-year-old insisting he remained a key part of their plans. Rooney still has 16 months left on his £300,000-per-week contract.

Man City miss two penalties in Everton draw

Kevin de Bruyne was the first to miss in the opening period, seeing the Dutch goalkeeper push his effort away, and Sergio Aguero saw the same outcome in the second half.

Despite dominating possession, City went behind as Romelu Lukaku opened the scoring with a cool finish.

Nolito headed in for the hosts from David Silva's inch-perfect cross, but De Bruyne had a drive brilliantly saved by Stekelenburg, as City failed to find the winner.
