Captain Keano

Harry Reknapp has confirmed to Sky News that Robbie Keane will be handed the captains armband for the big match against Arsenal this weekend.

Ledley King is sidelined with injury, so Keane will get a run of games as captain. King will remain club captain for now.

Redknapp says "I said to Robbie that if I brought him back that I would like to make him captain. I think it was important to him, to come back and lead the club.

"They [the squad] are all pleased to have him back, and they know what he can do."

"He is a leader and has the personality to be a captain of Tottenham."

Some Tottenham fans have had mixed reactions to the return of Keane, and those who were not happy will be less so with this announcement.

The derby game may be missing Arsenal new boy Andrei Arshavin as he needs to prove his fitness to manager Arsene Wenger to be included in the big game.

Arshavin To Arsenal (Finally!)

Andrei Arshavin has finally sealed his move to Arsenal fro Zenit, both clubs have announced today. The saga has been drawn out through much of January, mostly because of Zenit's demands on getting the whole transfer fee, £15m worth, upfront.

Arshavin will lend some creditability to what is at the moment looking like a light-weight, injury plighted Arsenal midfield. The prospect of seeing Arshavin, Fabregas and Walcott in the same midfield will have Gunners salivating and the signing may be the impetus on the squad that is needed to secure that vital fourth spot in the league.

The deal was done Monday, but the Premier League could only confirm all of the paperwork was completed, approved and filed today after an extension was granted on clearing the administration after poor weather conditions hampered negotiations for players, club reps and agents as they struggles to get around the country. Many of the Premier Leagues own staff were absent adding to last day pressures.

Arsenal Granted Work Permit For Arsharvin

Arsenal have been granted a work permit for the signing of Andrei Arshavin. The fee is reportedly not agreed between the two clubs, but the deal is likely to take place given the high profile nature and Arsenals need for a quality signing in midfield.

Arsene Wenger has said today that he would like the deal done within 24 hours.
