Grant keen on Robbie

Birmingham have had a £6million bid for Tottenham's Robbie Keane accepted - hours after Avram Grant confirmed West Ham's interest.

The 30-year-old striker is currently out of the first team picture at White Hart Lane and has long been linked with a move from north to east London.

Spurs boss Harry Redknapp confirmed earlier in the week that he would allow the former Coventry and Milan player to leave White Hart Lane, but only on a permanent basis.

Speaking to SkySports this afternoon, Grant admitted he saw Keane as the perfect addition to an attack that has struggled to hit the back of the net on a regular basis.

"He [Keane] is a player we want to bring for sure. We are dealing with this," Grant said, adding: "We have a few targets we want to bring in."

But just two hours after Grant spoke, it was confirmed that Birmingham's £4million plus add-ons bid had been accepted by Tottenham.

Despite that acceptance, the two parties are yet to meet and it is thought that Keane's preference is to stay in London.
