Robbie Keane has said that his return to Tottenham was an easy decision, admitting his time at Liverpool was tough.

"I'm delighted to be back at a club I have very strong feelings for from having previously spent six wonderful years here," Keane told the club's official website.

"Coming back to Spurs was an easy decision to make because this is my home. Firstly in respect of the club - but also my house is in the area and everything is set up for me to walk right back into.

"It's funny how football works sometimes and situations turn around very quickly, but I can assure fans I will be giving my all to make sure this club stays in the Premier League.

"It was a difficult time for me at Liverpool, but there's no point in dwelling on it.

"Now I have the chance to work with a fantastic manager in Harry Redknapp, who has done a great job since he came in, so I am lucky to be getting this exciting opportunity."
