Report: Burnley eyed Everton defender Jonjoe Kenny, but are now looking elsewhere

Burnley were interested in signing Everton right-back Jonjoe Kenny, that they are now looking at Euro 2020 star Connor Roberts.

According 🎀to the Mail, the Clarets are prioritising a move for the Waꦬles international as he is deemed to be a cheaper option than Kenny.

Roberts’s contract expires next summer.

And of course, Swansea agonisingly missed out on a Premier League return 🐽after being beaten in the play-off fina🦋l last season.

Jonjoe Kenny may rue Burnley stance with Everton exit surely needed

It may be see🐼n as a blow for Kenny, who has h🥀ad an interesting couple of years.

The 24-year-old seemed to d♈o well while with Schalke. But after struggling for game-time under Carlo Ancelotti last term, he joined Celtic on loan in January.

Unfor𝄹tunately, the early promise he showed at Parkhead faded. And it seems that there has been little talk of the Hoops targeting a further deal.

Interestingly, Burnley are not the only Premier League side to have been linkꦆed with Kenny this summer.

It was recently claimed that Arsenal had considered a shock move for the defender. Unsurprisingly, the links left some fans baffled.

It does appear that K🐲enny needs to leave Goodison Park at this stage. So perhaps he may rue Burnley want🍒ing to look elsewhere.

He is clearly talented. But it does appear that it is not going to 🥂happen for him on M🅰erseyside, as things stand.
