Robbie Keane set for surprise move to India - report

The Sun is reporting that the former Ireland man could move to Asia.

ROBBIE KEANE COULD be about to join Indian Super League side Atletico de Kolkata.

According to a report in The Irish Sun this morning, the 37-year old spoke with club officials about a move last week.

The club did not immediately respond to a request for a statement from The42 this morning.

Atletico de Kolkata are managed by Keane’s former Spurs strike partner Teddy Sheringham and take their name from the fact they were part owned by Atletico Madrid when they were founded.

They are twice winners of the ten-team Indian Super League.

Keane would not be the first Irish player to ply his trade in India; former Kilkenny City player Colin Falvey had a stint with the Kerala Blasters when the Super League was founded.

37-year old Keane had previously been linked with moves to both the SSE Airtricity League and the Championship.
