Keane - now a Liverpool player

Liverpool's new signing Robbie Keane may prompt sports betting fans to put their money on the Merseysiders lifting the Premier League title next season.

Liverpool have completed the signing of Irish forward Robbie Keane from Tottenham Hotspur, which may be of interest to sports betting fans looking to put their money on the forthcoming football season.

The 28-year-old striker has signed a four-year deal, which is thought to be in the region of £20 million, and may improve the Reds' chances of lifting the Premier League come the end of the 2008-09 campaign.

Spurs were reluctant to let their vice-captain leave, but once Liverpool's interest was made known Keane indicated a desire to move to the five-time European champions.

Keane is the second most expensive transfer in the club's history following Fernando Torres' move to Anfield last year.

The Republic of Ireland international's former clubs include Inter Milan and Leeds United, and he has scored at World Cups for his country.

Talking to Liverpoolfc.tv, the new signing revealed that it was "a dream come true" to join the club he supported as a child.
