CHELSEA have been linked with a January move for Burnley defender Michael Keane.
Reports in a national newspaper suggest Antonio Conte is keen on the former England Under-21 international to bolster his leaky defence when the January transfer window opens, and would be prepared to bid up to £25million.
Keane, who scored his first Premier League goal against Watford on Monday night, was the subject of failed bids from Premier League champions Leicester City during the summer, with Burnley turning down an offer of £15million and insisting the former Manchester United youngster was not for sale.
The 23-year-old turned down the offer of a new four-year contract in the summer, but he still has just under two years remaining on his current Turf Moor deal.
