Michael Keane: 'I feel settled at Everton'

Defender Michael Keane has claimed that he has started to produce the best form of his Everton career.

Last summer, Keane completed a big-money move to Goodison Park but the England international has not always commanded a place in the starting lineup.

However, ahead of his return to Burnley on Saturday afternoon, Keane has said that he is beginning to settle into life with the Toffees.

The 25-year-old told the club's official website: "I feel like I have really settled in now and started to play the best football I have played since I have been here, consistently.

"It does not help when the team loses but I have been reasonably pleased with how I have been playing. I know I can still improve and I am working hard to do that.

"But I think, in general, the team has been doing a bit better lately and we just need to keep that going."

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has said that he is looking forward to welcoming Keane back to Turf Moor this weekend.
