Keane could land Spurs starting role

Tottenham manager Glenn Hoddle has to decide who misses out to accommodate new £7m (€11m) striker Robbie Keane’s debut against Fulham at Loftus Road on Wednesday night.

Veteran Les Ferdinand, Norwegian Steffen Iversen and Keane’s fellow Republic of Ireland international Gary Doherty all have strong claims to partner skipper Teddy Sheringham up front for top-of-the-table Spurs.
