Aston Villa set to renew interest in resurgent Celtic loan star Keane

Aston Villa are set to renew their interest in Tottenham's on-loan and out-of-favour striker Robbie Keane.The Republic of Ireland's record goalscorer is currently at Celtic where he has enjoyed a resurgence of form after a disappointing second spell at White Hart Lane.Keane endured a torrid six month spell at Liverpool last season and, when he rejoined Spurs in a cut-price deal, was seen by many as a shadow of the player that had joined the Anfield outfit for £20million. Keane to move: Robbie has impressed on loan at CelticNow, though, after eight goals in eight games at Parkhead, Martin O'Neill is set to offer the 29-year-old a permanent way out of Tottenham in the summer.Celtic themselves would like to keep hold of Keane but are unable to match his £65,000-a-week contract, an amount that does fit into the Villa Park wage structure.O'Neill is likely to fund a move for the striker by offloading several fringe players like Habib Beye, Steve Sidwell and Nicky Shorey.  Keep Robbie Keane!
