Irish international Robbie Keane, the centerpiece of Tottenham Hotspur’s attack with an overall FTBL rating of 132.70 points at the moment, is reportedly the object of intense interest from Aston Villa.

If Keane joins Villa he should have no particular difficulties securing a place in the starting lineup: his potential main rival at the Birmingham club, England international Gabriel Agbonlahor, has a lower FTBL rating at 92.22 points. Norway international John Carew, another central figure at Villa, has just 84.58 points, while long-time England international Emile Heskey has 83.09 points. But Carrey and Heskey are anything but stable, while Agbonlahor picks up 11.03 rating points per game, against Keane’s 11.74 points.

Keane once left Spurs for Liverpool only to return after six months.
