Tottenham ace is Keane on a move to Toon
Robbie Keane has sounded out three of his Republic of Ireland team-mates about a move to Newcastle United.
The Magpies' retain an interest in the Tottenham Hotspur striker, with chairman Freddy Shepherd and manager Graeme Souness desperate to bring a big-name centre forward to St James' Park before the start of the season.
Keane asked Shay Given, Stephen Carr and Andy O'Brien about the set-up at St James' while on international duty earlier this month.
Last season the former Inter Milan and Leeds United man was relegated to the bench on several occasions, boss Martin Jol partnering Jermaine Defoe with Freddie Kanoute up front. The 24-year-old, who is approaching the final year of his contract, is ready to call time on his White Hart Lane career after three years at the North London club.
Souness, meanwhile, faces going into next month's Intertoto Cup campaign with just Alan Shearer and Michael Chopra as available strikers.
Shola Ameobi is out until at least the end of August following an end-of-season hip operation.
Craig Bellamy remains on Newcastle United's books, though Souness is not about to do a U-turn and bring him back into the fold.
Souness' only other option is to deploy midfielder Kieron Dyer as a forward, as he did on several occasions last season.
