Newcastle may be keen on Robbie in exchange deal for Jenas

NEWCASTLE could be tempted by the bait of Robbie Keane if Tottenham propose a part-exchange deal for Jermaine Jenas.

The Magpies have so far ruled out selling their 22-year-old England midfielder, who yesterday saw his controversial red card at Arsenal reduced to a yellow.

Jenas has been the subject of speculation that Tottenham and Arsenal both want to bring him to north London. Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has ruled out making an approach, but Newcastle chairman Freddy Shepherd is expecting an approach from Tottenham, with suggestions that €7.3 million plus Keane could be tabled.
