According to The Sun, the Reds are expecting to have a ₤20million deal signed, sealed and delivered by the middle of next week – despite the fact Tottenham remain reluctant to sell one of their star strikers.
Benitez wants the 28-year-old at Anfield immediately so he can enjoy as long a pre-season as possible with his new team-mates, especially now that Fernando Torres – Keane’s potential partner-in-crime – has returned to training with the rest of the Spanish contingent.
Ideally, the former Valencia boss would like the Republic of Ireland captain to feature against Villarreal on Wednesday; however, as the move may not yet be finalised by then, Rafa has instead targeted next Saturday’s trip to Ibrox for the ex-Inter man’s debut.
Keane’s imminent arrival could have a significant impact on Liverpool’s transfer activity from here on in, especially where Gareth Barry and Jermaine Pennant are concerned.
