After numerous short stints with the likes of Leicester City, Derby County, and Blackburn Rovers, the former Manchester United defender has finally found the right home at Burnley. Burnley currently have the 3rd best home record this season, only behind the London heavyweights Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea, and a large part of the credit for the same should go to Keane for his performances.
The player has showcased immense defensive ability as well as aerial prowess to establish himself as the first choice centre-back at Turf Moor. He has won an incredible 62 aerial duels in 21 appearances, which roughly translates into 3 successful aerial duels every 90 minutes. To add to that, Keane has also made a whopping 154 clearances thus far to help his side frustrate the opposition.
The player, who recently turned 24, has showcased an ability to lead a defence effectively and is definitely one of the brightest lights emerging out of Turf Moor in a season where they continue to surprise teams, especially visiting teams.
