Everton’s raid of Turf Moor may not end with Gray as they have also been linked with a move for Burnley defender Michael Keane.

The Toffees are set to lose their main man Romelu Lukaku, meaning Gray may step to help transform Everton’s attack.

The striker netted ten goals in 32 Premier League appearances last season.

It was recently reported Burnley may settle to sell Gray this summer after contract talks have stalled.

The former Brentford forward revealed he would talk about his future with the club in the summer.

Gray said: “It’s always been a matter of getting the season out of the way.

“We had a big job to do and it’s something that we didn’t want to get in between the season and contract talks.

“It will get sorted at the end of the season I’m sure.”
