Keane for a new challenge - or is Blues role still the right fit?

MICHAEL Keane is one of four Everton players due to be out of contract at the end of this month whose future remains unresolved.

On Monday, the Blues released a statement saying they were offering new contracts to Seamus Coleman and Idrissa Gueye, while continuing to liaise with representatives of Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Keane.

Then, on Wednesday, after receiving his OBE at Windsor Castle, Everton manager David Moyes said: “I think we'll secure the ones that we really want to secure and make sure they're here, and obviously we know we are going to have to bring in some new players, that’s obvious.”

Would Keane be one of those players you want to secure?

We asked members of the ECHO's Everton writers for their view.

When it comes to Premier League appearances for Everton, Michael Keane sits 17th on the all-time list with 196 games (in between Neville Southall on 207 and Idrissa Gueye on 194). If he was to stay for another season or two, he'd be moving up into the territory occupied by the likes of Dave Watson, Tim Cahill, David Weir and Duncan Ferguson.
