Robbie Keane's return to Tottenham is on the verge of being completed after Liverpool confirmed they had agreed a transfer fee for the Republic of Ireland international.

The 28-year-old striker has scored seven goals in 28 appearances since swapping north London for Merseyside last August.

However, his inability to hold down a place in Rafael Benitez's starting line-up had led to suggestions that he could be on his way out of Anfield.

A spokesman told the Reds' official website: "Liverpool Football Club have reached agreement with Tottenham Hotspur for the sale of Robbie Keane."

Keane was omitted from Benitez's 18-man squad for Sunday's 2-0 victory over Chelsea and now seems set to end his sorry stint on Merseyside.

Liverpool paid £20.3million to sign the forward in August and the Anfield club were believed to be holding out for a full refund on their outlay.
