According to various sources in the English press, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have agreed a £15 million deal that will see Robbie Keane return to White Hart Lane.
The Irish forward arrived at Anfield only six months, but he has failed to make an impact since his £20m dream move to the club he supported as a child.
And now, after being omitted from the Reds' critical 2-0 victory against Chelsea yesterday, the 28-year-old is expected to rejoin a Spurs side desperate for some attacking options.The Lilywhites have already re-signed Jermain Defoe, but the England forward will miss the next three weeks through injury. That leaves only Darren Bent and Roman Pavlyuchenko up top, and that partnership hasn't gelled particularly well.
Thus, Spurs boss Harry Redknapp wants Keane to reclaim the second-striker role and forge an understanding with Pavlyuchenko that could prove as profitable as his much-heralded pairing with Dimitar Berbatov.
No word from either club as yet, though, so it remains to be seen whether the deal has actually been struck.
