LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane has shutdown talk of returning to the Premier League on-loan.

QPR boss Harry Redknapp has expressed interest in the former Tottenham and Liverpool forward.

But Keane says: "I've been asked to go on loan by clubs, mostly in the Premier League, but it's not going to happen.

"Medically, I've been advised to take a break. Two days I after I came home from America last year, I had the operation on both of my Achilles and was back doing intensive training two days later. That's 22 months without a break, so I need one now.

"After a few weeks off, I start to get the itch and I've got that now. I was playing five-a-side with my mates 10 days after the MLS Cup final. I feel the best I've felt for years.

"Our break [in the MLS] is that little bit longer so I feel the temptation is there only because I love playing the game. Although that's there, I just can't see it [the loan] happening, to be honest."
