Aston Villa are eyeing Tottenham striker Robbie Keane.

The Mirror says Villa are favourites to land Robbie Keane this summer - as Celtic boss Tony Mowbray faces up to losing the striker.

Spurs hitman Keane, 29, has been a big success on loan at Parkhead, where he has scored eight goals in eight games.

Why not stay and become a hero and get European games.

Totally agree Alfie, Robbie should stay north of the border. He has given good service to Spurs over the years so why not guarantee himself Champions League football next year enjoy the latter years of what quite truthfully has been a good career for the lad.
Good luck to you Robbie and thanks :-)
