During his playing career in North London, Keane became a fan favourite through his goals, movement and passionate performances.<\/p>\n<p>A return to the club in a senior role would therefore represent an emotional reunion between the legendary striker and the supporters who watched him make his mark in a Tottenham shirt.<\/p>\n<p>De Zerbi would reportedly see Keane&#8217;s experience as valuable to the development of the club&#8217;s players, particularly the attacking department. His knowledge of elite football and experience at the highest level could make him an important presence around the first-team environment.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a moment that has sent waves of excitement through<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":27,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[45],"class_list":["post-24705","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-tottenham-hotspur"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 -
