Ramos wants a Roy Keane

Juande Ramos has said that he is looking to buy a 'Roy Keane' type player for his Tottenham side. Ramos believes he needs a player with the essential leadership skills to push the team forward.

"Players like Roy Keane are essential in any team," said Ramos, ahead of Sunderland's trip to White Hart Lane. "I loved him as a player.

"He had such personality and energy which he brought to the group and sadly those players are disappearing little by little.

"You can never say there won't be a player like him again, but it's just very difficult to find one with such a strong character and personality.

"I don't know why it's the case that there are no longer players like him, it's something a footballer carries inside himself. It's not something you can teach, it's something you have naturally."
