Keane on Robbie: Aston Villa re ready to rekindle their
interest in the Republic of Ireland skipper
Out in the cold: Keane has struggled to get into the
Tottenham first team this season
Aston Villa are ready to rekindle their interest in
Tottenham striker Robbie Keane with a £6million bid in
January.
The Republic of Ireland international has had a difficult time
since his return to White Hart Lane following his ill-fated move to
Liverpool and is eager for more game time.
However, manager Harry Redknapp wants to bring in another top
striker who can lead the line and needs to offload players to help
balance the books.
Keane has been a target in recent months for Newcastle, Celtic
and Sunderland while Vancouver Whitecaps of America's MLS have also
expressed interest in recent weeks.
Yet Tottenham's high valuation and his £75,000 per week wages
have hindered any permanent deals.
Villa sense though that Tottenham may be finally willing to
negotiate a reasonable fee and hope £6m can clinch a deal.
