Aston Villa fail in Keane loan extension

Aston Villa have been unable to extend the loan spell of Ireland international striker Robbie Keane, despite ongoing talks between the Villains and the LA Galaxy. Keane will return to the MLS on February 25th.

Villa were hoping to extend Keane's stay at Villa Park for another month, but the Irishman has been told he must return to the US as soon as his spell comes to an end.


Alex McLeish hoped to bring Keane in for a little while longer after the striker scored three goals in 4 games.
