Robbie Keane loaned to West Ham

Tottenham striker Robbie Keane has completed a loan deal to West Ham until the end of the season.

The Hammers have announced they have signed the Tottenham forward on loan with a view to making a transfer permanent at the end of the season.

Earlier today it was reported that the Irishman had collected all his boots from Tottenham training ground, hinting that he was set to leave the club.

Keane decided to leave the club in search for the first team football after he fell down behind Jermaine Defoe, Roman Pavlyuchenko and Peter Crouch in the pecking order.

He was also a target for Birmingham, but eventually opted to join the Boleyn Ground outfit.
