My Take
Michael Keane is the sort of no-nonsense English centre-back I have real time for. Coming through Manchester United's academy, he had to leave to truly grow, and Burnley under Sean Dyche is where he became a proper Premier League defender; brave in the air, aggressive in the tackle. His move to Everton and call-ups for England rewarded that grind. At 191 cm he's an old-fashioned aerial presence in a game obsessing over ball-playing defenders. For me he represents the value of taking the unglamorous route and earning your level through sheer reliability rather than hype.
