Liverpool Accuse Tottenham Of Tapping-Up Robbie Keane


According to UK tabloid The Sun, Liverpool will lodge an official complaint over Tottenham Hotspur's behaviour with regard to Robbie Keane.

The Irish striker has struggled to settle at Anfield since his £20 million move from White Hart Lane last year, and it is rumoured that he could be on his way back to north London in the near future.

The Lilywhites have made no secret of their interest in re-signing the 28-year-old, but the Reds are less than happy with their fellow Premier League club's conduct.

Harry Redknapp said recently, “I won’t sit here and say I wouldn’t like to have Robbie Keane at my club because I would be a liar if I did.

“I have a lot of time for Robbie as a player and as a person, he’s fantastic. But he belongs to Liverpool so unfortunately it’s not an option.”

Liverpool view the Tottenham manager's comments as an illegal and unauthorised declaration of his intention to sign Keane, and Kop chief Rick Parry will demand that the Premier League investigate the matter.

This could be seen as payback for Spurs' complaints over the manner in which the Merseyside giants landed the former Inter forward in the first place.
