Tottenham<\/a> striker Robbie Keane<\/a> has lauded fellow Republic of Ireland<\/a> team-mate Shay Given<\/a> as the best goalkeeper in the Premier League<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given failed to make an appearance for Manchester City in the Premier League this year, mainly because of injuries and stiff competition from first-choice Joe Hart.<\/span><\/p>\n

Speculation has linked the 35-year-old with a move away from Eastlands, with Celtic thought to be interested, but Keane believes the club who ends up with Given will be getting a high-quality goalkeeper.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keane told Sky Sports News<\/em>: “I still feel he is the best keeper in the Premier League.<\/span><\/p>\n

“I’m biased because I have worked with Shay and he is a good friend but, not only that, he is a top-class goalkeeper.<\/span><\/p>\n

“It has been a frustrating season for him and he has come out and said that.<\/span><\/p>\n

“But I am sure in the summer, after getting these games behind him, he’ll look forward to a break and he’ll certainly get a club for next season, no doubt about that.<\/span><\/p>\n

“Whoever does buy him would be getting a world-class goalkeeper and someone who is great to have around the dressing room as well.”<\/span><\/p>\n
