Premier League rivals Burnley are considering a move for Everton right-back Jonjo Kenny according to media reports.

Footballinsider247.com claim that Clarets boss Sean Dyche wants to bring the Everton defender to Turf Moor in this transfer window.

According to the report, Dyche has been a long-time admirer of the Toffees full-back and apparently wanted to do a deal for him before he went to Germany on-loan.

Now that Burnley have been taken over by new owners and have fresh financial resources to spend, the Clarets manager is keen to revive a deal for Kenny.

The former youth team product has seen his Everton career stall and ever since he came back from his year-long spell at Schalke and he hasn’t been able to nail down a place in the Blues team.

There are doubts that he has the ability to play at the top level of the Premier League and it seems clear that Carlo Ancelotti doesn’t regard him as having a future at Goodison Park.

For example, when Seamus Coleman went down injured again recently Ancelotti went with Mason Holgate at right-back, rather than giving Kenny a chance.

It seems that it would be best for Kenny to go to another club if he can to try and revive his stagnating Premier League career and the Blues can get a reasonable fee for him.

In other transfer news Brighton seem confident they will beat Newcastle and the Toffees to the signature of Ecudorian midfielder Moises Caicedo.

We covered this story recently and the young Caicedo is a player being favourably compared to the brilliant Chelsea ball-winner N’Golo Kante.

Talksport claim that the Seagulls are leading the race for Caicedo and make well secure his signature given they are supposedly front-runners with Manchester United out of the race.

While Caicedo looks a real promising talent the Blues main priorities must be strengthening their attacking options particularly wide forwards and perhaps to another centre-forward especially with the injury to Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
