Preston North End are leading the race to sign experienced free agent, according to SkyBet.
Popular bookmakers SkyBet have installed Preston North End as shock favourites in the race to sign Robbie Keane, listing them at evens to sign the experienced striker.
The Irishman is available on a free transfer, following the expiration of his contract with the LA Galaxy, with a whole host of clubs are reportedly lining up to sign him.

And SkyBet slashed the odds on the Lancashire outfit winning the race for his signature, making them favourites ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion at 5/2 and Shamrock Rovers at 4/1.
The 36-year-old striker has enjoyed a fabulous career, scoring 218 career goals, during spells with ten different clubs.

And if Simon Grayson manages to bring him to Deepdale, it could prove to be one of the most astute pieces of business in the Championship this season.
Preston are currently in ninth position in the table, just six points adrift of the play-off spots, and the arrival of Keane could make all the difference, as they look to close the gap on those above them in the table, should a move for the Irishman come to fruition.
