Keane: I think they were looking for publicity

Robbie Keane

Robbie Keane has claimed that there was never a possible deal to Birmingham City.

There was talk of a £6million move from Tottenham to St Andrews and Birmingham released a statement on Monday which indicated the 30-year-old’s wage demands were too high.

Keane said: “The Birmingham stuff was never on anyway, so it was very strange to see that stuff on Sky yesterday in the first place.

“It was never going to happen.”

“I haven’t heard anything at the moment but we will just see what happens,” he added when asked about West Ham.

“But like I said, that Birmingham stuff yesterday was a bit bizarre with a statement coming out from them which I found very strange.

“A deal was never really on the table, so I just think that Birmingham was looking for a bit of publicity really.”
