da winzada777： Burnley goalkeeper Tom Heaton has attracted the interest of Premier League trio Manchester City, Liverpool and Everton, according to The Sun.
da poker： What’s the story?
The 30-year-old has been impressive for the Clarets this season as he has coped well with Premier League opposition.
In total, the shot-stopper has kept five clean sheets so far, and he was a huge reason why his former club Manchester United were forced to accept a goalless draw in October.
The Sun claims that City, Liverpool and Everton are looking to Heaton as the answer to their goalkeeping issues.
However, the publication adds that Burnley are unlikely to listen to offers until the end of the season, and will not entertain a bid less than £15m.
There is rumoured to be a release clause in the shot-stopper’s current contract, but that can only be triggered if Burnley suffer relegation from the Premier League.

Why are the trio of clubs chasing Heaton?
Well, it is no secret that City and Liverpool, in particular, have had problems with their players in between the sticks.
Claudio Bravo, who was bought from Barcelona by City boss Pep Guardiola as a replacement for Joe Hart in the summer, has disappointed.
The 33-year-old has been guilty of committing numerous blunders, and since September, the team have kept just four clean sheets in the top flight.
As for Liverpool, manager Jurgen Klopp bought Loris Karius in the summer as the challenger to Simon Mignolet, but the 23-year-old’s inexperience has shown.
Mignolet has not been a hugely better option, and that showed last Sunday when he conceded three goals against Swansea City.
Maarten Stekelenburg joined Everton from Fulham before the start of last season, but The Sun claims that Ronald Koeman does not feel as though he is the right man to seal the number one spot.
By the sounds of it, Heaton will have his choice of clubs to join if he opts to leave Turf Moor, but it is a big step up for the shot-stopper, who has played for Cardiff City, Bristol City and Burnley since leaving United in 2010.
