Redknapp looking to sell Keane

(GSM) – Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp is looking to sell striker Robbie Keane to the highest bidder when the transfer window opens in January.

The Republic of Ireland international has been regularly left out of the Tottenham starting line-up and had a loan stint at Celtic last season.

With Jermain Defoe, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Peter Crouch getting the nod from Redknapp ahead of him, Keane has been linked with a January move to Aston Villa or Major League Soccer’s newly re-formed Vancouver Whitecaps.

“I think he’d like to move – he wants to play, you know?” said Redknapp

“Whoever offers the biggest fee will, I suppose, be the answer in January.

“He’s not used to not playing. All his career, he’s played and been a big player and he wants to play. He could sit here and take his wages, but that’s not him.

“He wants to play football. He trains hard, works hard every day, he’s shown a great attitude. Probably the hardest decision I had to make was last week: I couldn’t get him on the bench.

“It wasn’t easy when you respect somebody and what a good player he is or has been. It was hard, because he’s still a good player.”

However, Redknapp has dismissed rumors that he is trying to bring Manchester City striker Emmanuel Adebayor to White Hart Lane.
