Burnley interested in signing Palace’s Martin Kelly

According to The Guardian, Burnley are interested in signing Martin Kelly as Crystal Palace look to free up wages to bring in new signings.

Kelly is set to struggle for first team football at Crystal Palace, with the arrival of Jairo Riedewald and the likes of James Tomkins and Scott Dann returning from injury, he will only be needed at fullback, which new manager, Frank De Boer, doesn’t use in his 3-4-3 system, meaning Kelly’s future is in doubt.

Burnley have emerged as suitors for Kelly, as they look to fill the void which Michael Keane left when he joined Everton from the club earlier this transfer window.

Kelly joined Palace from Liverpool in 2014 for £2m after coming through the youth ranks at Liverpool, where he spent a year on loan at now Premier League side, Huddersfield.

In his Palace career, Kelly has made a total of 161 appearances, scoring four goals and assisting seven.
