RUMOURS: Chelsea prepare bid for Burnley's Keane

With Saturday's 3-0 drubbing at Arsenal highlighting the side's fragility, the manager is looking at the 23-year-old as reinforcement in the next transfer window

Chelsea manager Antonio Conte has identified Michael Keane as a solution to his defensive problems at Stamford Bridge, according to theMirror.

The Blues' backline has been anything but stable since the Italian took over, despite the re-signing of David Luiz from Paris Saint-Germain.

Burnley's 23-year-old star could set Chelsea back up to £25 million, and has been identified as a possible long-term successor to John Terry in the middle of defence.
