Allardyce: Keane deal of interest to Rovers

SAM ALLARDYCE admitted he would be interested in signing Robbie Keane or David Bentley if they become available in January – with the added incentive that they would be allowed to wear snoods should they come to windy Ewood Park.

The Blackburn manager will keep an eye on developments regarding the Spurs players but believes he will be in a long queue for their services.

Allardyce said: “If Tottenham say that Robbie Keane and David Bentley are available, then you are always interested in quality players. If they are, then I think we will be one of many, many clubs in the Barclays Premier League who would be interested though.
