Jordan: We are Keane to have him back

Last updated : 14 March 2010 By Grahame Greeen

Joe Jordan is adamant that Robbie Keane will be heading back to Spurs after his loan deal with Celtic comes to an end. Keane joined the Hoops giants in January and the deals should see him stay until the end of the season. The Republic of Ireland international has scored eight goals so far

However, Jordan is adamant Keane still has a big role to play at Spurs. He said: "Without a doubt (Keane will return), he's the captain. Harry (Redknapp) brought him back here and he was a major player in getting us out of trouble last season, not just on the pitch, but in the dressing room as well. He was an influential guy, he's a leader, and there's not many of them going about. It wasn't just the player, it was the person we wanted."
