Keane clinging on as second Spurs exit beckons

ROBBIE Keane may have hung on to the Tottenham captaincy despite his role in the infamous Christmas party in Dublin – but he could still be on his way out of White Hart Lane next month.

Keane was made team skipper when he rejoined the club from Liverpool in January this year but that status was thought to be under threat after he and 15 other players went against manager Harry Redknapp’s orders to avoid festive celebrations by flying to Dublin in secret two weeks ago.

Keane, whose weekly salary of just under €80,000 makes him one of the club’s top earners alongside Ledley King and Jermain Defoe, managed to avoid losing the captaincy but few would be surprised to see him leave the club for a second time.
