Keane wants to prove himself at Liverpool

Robbie Keane insists he is not interested in leaving Liverpool in the January transfer window.

The Republic of Ireland international has been linked with a move away from the club after failing to make an impact at Anfield, following his summer move from Tottenham.

But the striker insists he will be staying put in a bid to prove himself at Anfield.

“I’ve only been here a few months but there’s nothing I can do about speculation, that’s all part and parcel of being a footballer,” Keane told the club’s official website.

“If people want to create something that’s not there it’s up to them but there’s no question in my mind, I will be a Liverpool player for a long time.

“People can write what they want and they can say what they want. They can keep writing but I’ll be here past January.”

“I’ve only been here a few months and it takes a bit of time to settle into a new club. That’s not an excuse but I deserve to be judged a little further down the line,” added Keane.

“I’m not being big headed but you don’t score a lot of goals like I’ve done over the last 10 years and suddenly it just goes away so I’m not worried about that.”
