Keane To Return?
Category: Sports
It was not that long ago that footballer Robbie Keane made a dream move to his boyhood idols Liverpool, however there is some concern about his long-term prospects at the club.
The Republic of Ireland forward has featured less in the side as the season progresses. This latest snub has made Keane, 28, more determined than ever before to stay and fight for his place.
However, Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has expressed his interest in taking the striker back to White Hart Lane. Spurs have already signed two former players during this transfer window, Jermaine Defoe from Portsmouth and Pascal Chimbonda from Sunderland.
If Keane is to return to his former club, spurs could effectively waive the outstanding fee they are owed by Liverpool and possibly offer a player in exchange such as Aaron Lennon or Gareth Bale.
There has also been interest from Manchester City if their top target Roque Santa Cruz of Blackburn does not wish to go.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez has made it quite clear that there will be no players for sale as he pushes for the premier league title, but his friendship with Keane has of late become strained. Keane did not travel with the squad for the recent Everton game after he discovered that David Ngog had taken his place on the bench.
He has trained since, and made his aplogies to the manager, with Benitez impressed by his aptitude in training. Although many seem to think that his days are numbered, maybe it would be best for all concerned if he was to move on.
