Burnley reject Leicester’s record £15million bid for defender Michael Keane
PROMOTED Burnley have turned down a club record £15million bid for defender Michael Keane from Leicester.

Keane joined the Clarets from the Red Devils for £3million on a three-and-a-half year deal in January 2015.
The England under-21 man had been been on loan from Old Trafford since August.
But Burnley boss Sean Dyche has no intention of letting the centre-back, who scored five goals in 46 appearances in all competitions as the Clarets won the Championship title last season, go.
