Robbie Keane close to Aston Villa loan move from Los Angeles Galaxy
Aston Villa expect to sign Los Angeles Galaxy striker Robbie Keane on a two-month loan within the next 24 hours.
Keane, 31, is training with Villa and could face Galaxy team-mate Landon Donovan, who is back at Everton, at Villa Park on Saturday.
The Ireland forward had been training with Tottenham before linking up with the Midlands club.
Villa boss Alex McLeish said: "We are certainly pursuing it and, at the moment, both parties are keen."
Former Villa manager John Gregory tried to sign Keane 12 years ago from Wolves but they would not meet the asking price and he moved instead to West Midlands neighbours Coventry.

Last season, when he was Birmingham manager, McLeish came close to signing Keane in a £6m deal from Spurs.
The two clubs agreed a fee but personal terms proved a stumbling block and Keane joined West Ham on loan before making the switch to the United States last summer.
A loan deal for Keane is expected to cost Villa about £400,000 and if completed he would join up with Republic team-mates Shay Given and Richard Dunne.
It is believed Keane wants to stay sharp for the Euro 2012 finals by continuing to play before the Major League Soccer season begins in March.
Last week, McLeish dismissed rumours that Darren Bent could be sold to Liverpool.
"We've not heard a thing from Liverpool," the Scotsman said. "I'm aware of the speculation.
"But, even if there was contact, we wouldn't want to entertain selling our top scorer of last season. He is a prolific marksman." |
