Tottenham boss Harry Redknapp is ready to keep hold of striker Robbie Keane.

The Daily Express says Keane's long-term future at White Hart Lane has been brought into doubt recently, with Aston Villa and Sunderland linked to him, along with Celtic.

But despite indifferent form, Keane is unlikely to be jettisoned in the January transfer window, especially to a top-four rival like Villa.
