Everton a good fit for McGeady, says Keane

Robbie Keane says joining Everton would be the right move for Aiden McGeady.

On the same day that Toffees boss Roberto Martinez confirmed the club are close to finalising a pre-contract deal which would bring the Irish international and Spartak Moscow man to Goodison in the summer, Irish skipper Keane hailed the player’s imminent return from Russia.

“I think he’s certainly looking to get back after the problems he’s had with the coach there,” said Keane, referring to McGeady’s well-publicised falling out with Spartak manager Valery Karpin. “I think he wants it himself, probably for the last year. I know him quite well and I know that it’s something that he’s wanted to do.
