Burnley manager Sean Dyche admits Michael Keane's £30million transfer to Everton was the right move for the defender.
The Clarets received a club-record fee of £25m upfront for the 24-year-old, with a further £5m in add-ons, when the centre-back made the switch to Goodison Park on Monday.
Dyche was realistic enough to realise he could not expect to hang on to a player who made his England debut in March.
"The reality was that Michael was probably going to move," he told burnleyfootballclub.com.
"It's not about him wanting to leave - it's just a natural progression.
