For all the latest reports and transfer rumours, visit our dedicated section here.

Tottenham striker Robbie Keane is believed to be in favour of remaining at White Hart Lane, as opposed to going out on loan to Newcastle United.

The Tyneside club were thought to have been in talks with their London counterparts over a temporary move for the forward, with a season-long loan with the option of a permanent transfer reported to have been proposed.

However, The Northern Echo claims that the 30-year-old is hesitating to agree to a loan move to St James' Park, having already gone out on loan to Celtic during the second half of Spurs' campaign last term.

But with less than 48 hours to go before the transfer window closes, coupled with the club having been unable to bolster their front line as yet, the former Liverpool forward has reportedly told senior officials at the club that he would like to continue his career in north London.

It is thought that a permanent move away from White Hart Lane may sway the striker into making a move away from Spurs.

As with in the Goal.com towers this week, debate has raged on Twitter as to who Sir Alex Ferguson should pair Wayne Rooney with for today’s showstopper with Liverpool. Chicarito and Danny Welbeck have got their fair share of fans, while Dimitar Berbatov is the romantics’ choice, following his spectacular overhead effort in the corresponding fixture last term. Stoic defenders of Michael Owen seem few and far between though.

Tweet us at @GoalUK to let us know who you think should get the nod.
