A report claims that Leicester City are prepared to pay up to £18m for Burnley centre-back Michael Keane in this summer's transfer window.

Leicester City are reportedly prepared to pay up to £18m to sign Burnley centre-back Michael Keane.

The Premier League champions have been strongly linked with a move for the former Manchester United youngster since the end of last season and it is understood that they have already had a £10m bid rejected.

According to the Daily Mail, Leicester are preparing a new offer of £15m, which could rise to £18m with add-ons.

The 23-year-old came through the youth system at Manchester United, but only made one Premier League appearance for the Red Devils before moving on to Burnley in January 2015.

Keane, who is a former England Under-21 international, made 44 Championship appearances for Burnley last term.
