Robbie Keane today completed a deadline-day move to White Hart Lane after Liverpool and Tottenham agreed a transfer fee for the Republic of Ireland international.
Having not been involved in Sunday's dramatic victory over Chelsea at Anfield, Keane travelled down to London on Monday morning after the Reds granted him permission to speak to Spurs officials.
Once a fee was agreed between the two clubs ahead of the 5pm closure of the transfer window, it was then up to the player himself to pass a medical and agree personal terms with Spurs before the deal could be officially completed. Confirmation of this came just after 5.30pm when Tottenham Hotspur announced the transfer was a done deal.
Speaking to the official Tottenham Hotspur website, Keane said: "It was a difficult decision to make to leave Tottenham in the summer. It proved not to be the right move for me. I know some Spurs fans will feel I let them down by leaving but I can assure them I shall be giving my all for this Club. This Club has terrific fans and I want to repay them for all their support. We've got to get on and fight our way up that league table."

p/s: Aku harap selepas kemenangan ngan Chelsea last monday, Liverpool dapat mempertingkankan kejayaan mereka... walaupun Torres kata dia selesa bermain ngan Keane... tapi kemenangan ngan Chelsea membuktikan yang dia lagi better ngan Bennayoun...
