#4 Robbie Keane

Keane ranked among one of the most prolific strikers in world football in his pomp, but the now 36-year-old has been a free agent ever since he left LA Galaxy in January this year. Keane’s status as one of the premier centre-forwards – he scored 68 international goals for the Republic of Ireland in a career spanning 18 years – has alerted the likes of Kerala Blasters. With Steve Coppell set to keep his place in the Kerala Blasters’ dugout next season, signing the former Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool hitman will be akin to a coup for the Yellow Army. Moreover, ISL fans will also catch their Irish hero from close quarters should Keane sign on the dotted lines.
