Keane focused on long-term goals

Tottenham striker Robbie Keane, who faces PSV Eindhoven in the Uefa Cup this evening, expects to stay at White Hart Lane for the rest of his career.

The 27-year-old had four clubs in three years before settling at Spurs in 2002 - and he won his first trophy for the club this season when they defeated Chelsea in the Carling Cup final.

Spurs agreed a contract last summer to keep Keane with them until 2012, and the Republic of Ireland captain sees his long-term future at the club.

"I can't see myself going anywhere or playing for anyone else now. That is why I signed a long-term contract," Keane told today's London Evening Standard:

"I am more than happy here and I want to stay here for as long as I can. If I keep doing well and the club want me, then I am happy to stay here for the rest of my career."

Keane has formed an impressive partnership with Dimitar Berbatov, limiting the impact of Jermain Defoe and Darren Bent this season. Defoe has moved to Portsmouth, and Keane has backed Bent to eventually deliver for head coach Juande Ramos.

"People have to understand that if you are not playing every week, it's very difficult," he added. "I know from personal experience it's not easy to come in and just do something out of the ordinary. But Darren will be a great player for this club; there is no question about that.

"In football you just need that bit of luck or for someone to get injured to get a chance, and Darren hasn't had that opportunity yet."
