In recent weeks, Liverpool and Republic of Ireland striker Robbie Keane has been linked with a shock return, according to the British tabloids.   However, Reds manager Rafael Benitez has come out and quashed any rumours, stating he is at Anfield for the long term.

The Sun has quoted the Spaniard as saying, "We don't want to sell Robbie, so I was surprised when I heard about the rumors. We are not even thinking about selling.

"But Robbie has the quality and is working hard, so it is not a problem.

"The key for me is when the team plays well. If they do that, Keane will have more chances and he will score more goals."

Well, there you go.  Once again the tabloid rumors lead to nothing.  Robbie Keane is going to stay at Anfield.
