Tottenham Hotspur assistant manager Gus Poyet says the club 'can't afford' to lose Robbie Keane.
The striker has been linked with a move to Liverpool, with reports claiming Rafa Benitez wants to pair the Irishman with Fernando Torres.
Having sold Jermain Defoe to Portsmouth in January, Poyet is aware the club can not risk depleting their attacking options any further.
And Poyet admits it is vital that Keane is at White Hart Lane next season to continue his profitable partnership with Dimitar Berbatov.
Shocked
"I was shocked when I heard him being linked with Liverpool - he's a very important player for us," Poyet told the Daily Star Sunday.
"We can't afford to let Robbie go.
"We have lost Jermain Defoe and, hopefully, Dimitar Berbatov will stay.
"If we lost Robbie it would be too much."
