Aston Villa make sensational move for LA Galaxy star Keane

Aston Villa are making a sensational move for LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane.

The Mirror says Villa boss Alex McLeish is ready to give Keane a shock return to the Premier League if he can cut through red tape.

The Republic of Ireland star is taking a break at the end of the MLS season with Los Angeles Galaxy, but McLeish would like to take him on loan for a couple of months.

Keane could be open to the plan to keep himself sharp before heading back to California and building up for the Euro 2012 finals with his country.

However Keane would need clearance from both LA Galaxy and the MLS - plus a big insurance payment - to make the move happen, but it is being explored by Villa.
