THERE'S ONLY 1 KEOWN |
| Martin Keown could be set for a free transfer move to Reading
in the next couple of days. The former Arsenal and England defender is currently without a club after having his contract mutually terminated by Leicester City yesterday. Keown is an Arsenal legend, where he spent 10 years at Highbury and in that time picked up 3 Premiership title's. He's best remembered by many people including myself for being the man that clamped Ruud Van Nistelrooy in that famous 0-0 draw at Old Trafford which saw 4 Arsenal players and 1 Manchester United player charged by the FA. The role of Keown is unknown at this stage, but it's thought he will be offered a player/coach role until the end of the season with him then moving into a coaching role next season. Should Keown sign, it would become Steve Coppell's 2nd major coup of the month after agreeing a deal with Les Ferdinand. Ferdinand himself is back for the FA Cup match with Leicester tomorrow after 2 weeks out with a hamstring injury. What do you think of the potential Keown move? Have your say on the Message Board. |
