Irish striker dismisses exit talk
Robbie Keane has played down speculation about his future by insisting that he is looking forward to playing for Tottenham next season.
The Republic of Ireland striker has been linked with a move away from White Hart Lane and he admits he is growing tired of the transfer talk.
He maintains that he is happy at Spurs and eager to stay with the club for a long time to come.
"There's always speculation that I'm going here, there and everywhere but I'm very content with my life and with my time at Spurs," Keane said on
Sky Sports News.
"I will continue to play there for as long as I am happy and for as long as I am wanted.
"It's good to have a summer off but then I look forward to going back to Spurs next season."
World Cup aim
Keane is currently preparing for Ireland's friendly against Colombia on Thursday and he is excited about the future of his national team under Giovanni Trapattoni.
The 27-year-old is desperate to showcase his talents on the World Cup stage again, having featured in the 2002 tournament, but he accepts that time is ticking by.
He explained: "As you get older, you can see time going past you. I'm not getting any younger and I want to progress and push on and play in the World Cup again and Euros if I can.
"I have played in them before and they were a great experience and something I totally enjoyed, and I would really love to get another World Cup under my belt.
"Every kid's dream is to play in the World Cup and growing up in Dublin you watched the World Cup, Italia 90 and USA 94, and you always want to be a part of it.
"I was very lucky to do that, and when you have done that, you just want to do it again."
