Joined Internazionale from Coventry in a &pound13 million deal in August '00 after agreeing a five-year contract with the Italians. Genuinely two-footed, with sharp pace and astute vision, Keane also possesses body strength and close control. Became the most expensive teenager in British soccer history when he moved from Wolverhampton Wanderers to Coventry City for six million pounds ($9.31 million) in August '99. "I think the English game is fantastic. But if you have the opportunity to play for Inter Milan I don't think you or anyone else would refuse it," the irish-styled Romario said after signing with Inter.
