Should West Ham United make a move for Robbie Keane in the January transfer window?
West Ham United are struggling at the moment and are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.
There are a number of problems at West Ham, the chief among them being that of scoring goals.
Diafra Sakho has struggled with fitness issues this season, while Andy Carroll has only just returned to action.
Simone Zaza is fit, but the striker signed on loan from Juventus in the summer transfer window has been a massive disappointment so far.
For the Hammers to stave off relegation to the Championship at the end of the season, they need to sign a striker in the January transfer window.
Enter Robbie Keane.
True, Keane is 36 years of age and is past his best, but who else is out there who can be a credible addition to the West Ham strike-force in the middle of the season?
No club would want to part company with their key strikers in the middle of the season.
Moreover, with the Hammers struggling for survival in the Premier League, not many players would be keen on a move to the London Stadium in the January transfer window.
Keane would be a free agent in January, as his current contract with Los Angeles Galaxy runs out at the end of December, according to Transfermarkt.com.
While the former Republic of Ireland international is clearly past his best, he can still come off the substitutes’ bench and do a good job, and he knows the Premier League inside out.
Moreover, the former Tottenham Hotspur striker has had a loan spell at West Ham already, so he would know the size of the club.
