The fee represents a record sale for Burnley, who signed the central defender from Manchester United in January 2015 for an undisclosed fee put at two million pounds by British media.

In March, Keane made his full England debut in a friendly against Germany before playing in a World Cup qualifier versus Lithuania.
Jordan Pickford, Davy Klaassen and Henry Onyekuru completed moves to Everton from Sunderland, Ajax and KAS Eupen respectively earlier in the transfer window.
