Keane finally on his way to Liverpool?
From Liverpool Echo
LIVERPOOL will look to tie up a deal for Robbie Keane in the next 48 hours after Tottenham gave up the struggle to keep their star player at White Hart Lane.
The chances of Rafa Benitez getting his man were boosted significantly last night when Spurs boss Juande Ramos admitted for the first time he is likely to have to cash in on some of his big names in an effort to balance the books.
With boyhood Reds fan Keane desperate to move to Anfield and Benitez equally keen on signing him, the move is likely to happen sooner rather than later given the Liverpool manager’s desire to be able to work with his new signings at the earliest possible opportunity.
There is now an acceptance at Tottenham that Keane will get his dream move and yesterday’s comments from Ramos were a clear attempt by the manager to prepare the club’s fans for the departure of their hero.
Speaking at Spurs’ pre-season training camp in Spain, Ramos admitted it was possible that he would have to sell both Keane and Dimitar Berbatov to cover his own outlay on players since taking the White Hart Lane hot seat earlier this year.
