Robbie Keane signs for Atleticó de Kolkata
Robbie Keane has completed his move to Atleticó de Kolkata, the reigning Indian Super League champions.
Keane left LA Galaxy last November and has been searching for the right move over the last nine months, with his former Tottenham team-mate Teddy Sheringham, now Kolkata manager, convincing Keane to make the move to India.
“Robbie's a great striker and has played competitive football at the highest level for years,” said chairman Sanjiv Goenka. “He remains supremely fit and is the kind of player who can take the game to new heights.
“I should add that Robbie, who has firsts to his credit, is excited at the prospect of playing in India in general and Calcutta in particular.
“Teddy has played with Robbie and knows him well. That personal factor apart, he sees him as an absolute match-winner and someone who will do well in Indian conditions.
“Is Robbie good enough to win us three or four matches? My belief is yes. So, you have my answer. It is far better to have match-winners, rather than a team packed with mediocre players.”
