Michael Keane has proven that he is willing to put his body on the line for Everton during the Toffees 1-0 win over Stoke City on Saturday.
The 24-year-old Keane, who arrived at Goodison Park this summer from Burnley following impressive form last season, started his career with the Toffees on a good note.
His stats from the afternoon proved to be impressive as he made eight clearances, one block and three interceptions. He also won 100% of tackles, won 4/5 duels, won ¾ aerial duels and had a pass accuracy of 84.8%.
Keane, a product of the Manchester United youth development system, has now stated on Twitter after the game, “Buzzing with the win and clean sheet today! Defo worth losing a tooth for.”
Keane and his team will be aiming for nothing less than a top six finish this season after bringing in good quality players during the summer.
