LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane has ruled out signing permanently for Aston Villa.

Keane, 31, began a six-game loan at ­Aston Villa yesterday ­designed so he will be at peak ­fitness for the Republic of ­Ireland at Euro 2012.

The LA Galaxy ­striker said: "Come back permanently? No. I am quite ­happy in the MLS. I have really enjoyed the three months I have had there so far. It is a great lifestyle out there for the family.

"It's nice to have the ­opportunity to come back for a couple of months, but when that ends I am ­looking forward to getting back with the Galaxy. I was having the time off that I wanted, but then I got some phone calls and when one of them was from Villa it was a club I felt immediately I would be comfortable with, because of the people I already know there."
