Double Departure (Nearly) Done

Technically George Boyd has already left Burnley. In any case he should complete the formalities of his transfer to Sheffield Wednesday by the close of play on Monday as our former midfielder is undergoing a medical at Hillsborough, reports Sky Sports.

Boyd had been offered a new one year deal but his decision to turn this down saw him leave at the end of June. He had been linked with various Championship clubs, including a reunion with his former Hull boss Steve Bruce at Aston Villa.

Sheffield Wednesday are the side who will snap up the experienced Boyd, 31.

However, Burnley will receive a club record fee for former Manchester United defender Michael Keane when he completes his transfer to Everton.

Keane too is going through his paces of a medical, if this hasn’t already been concluded? The England international will then complete a £25m transfer to Goodison Park.
