Republic of Ireland manager Giovanni Trapattoni has urged his star charge Robbie Keane to jump on the chance to join Liverpool this summer.
Tottenham already have their work cut out for them to convince Keane to resist the lure of Liverpool, so they will not be in the least bit happy that his national team manager has so publicly encouraged his player to make a move to 'advance his career'.
Trapattoni told the Daily Mail: "I don’t know what is happening with Liverpool at the moment but I would be very happy for him (to move).
“I hope it happens for him because it will be a big challenge. It would be important for him and important for us.”
The Sun claimed on Monday that Keane has told Spurs boss Juande Ramos he wants to leave, while virtually simultaneously Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez has weighed in with a Crouch plus cash swap proposal.
According to the Irish Independent, Tottenham have now made it clear that they will resist all offers for the 27-year-old, who is considered one of the key components of the London side's determined drive to become a genuine top four side.
