McLeish: Keane deal would benefit both

Aston Villa manager Alex McLeish believes his team will have a “highly motivated” Robbie Keane at their disposal if the striker’s proposed loan move from the Los Angeles Galaxy is completed.

McLeish reckons the midlands club will reap the benefits of the Republic of Ireland captain wanting to remain sharp before the Major Soccer League resumes in March and ahead of this summer’s Euro 2012 finals.
