Atletico Madrid Consider Tottenham Hotspur’s Robbie Keane & Manchester City’s Shaun Wright-Phillips – Report

 Having already off-loaded a number of players this winter, Atletico Madrid could attempt to bulk their squad up again by adding Tottenham Hotspur’s Robbie Keane and Manchester City’s Shaun Wright-Phillips to their panel, a report in AS suggests.

Los Colchoneros are not challenging towards the summit of the Primera Division as they might have hoped, and Quique Sanchez Flores is to attempt to inject some life into his squad by working some magic in the transfer window.

Keane has struggled to get much of a chance in the starting XI at White Hart Lane this season and is a player likely to be off-loaded by Spurs this month. With rumours of Diego Forlan departing Atleti, the Irishman could be considered a successor to the Uruguayan goal king at the Vicente Calderon.

Equally, Wright-Phillips has found himself on the periphery of City’s rise to prominence in England. The international winger is a player who has been tracked by the Spaniards before, but with Osasuna’s Juanfran supposedly nearing a deal with the capital side, this is a switch that likely hinges on external factors.

Los Colchoneros travel to Alicante to meet Hercules on Monday, going into the weekend sixth in the standings as La Primera Division approaches its halfway mark.
