Blues Keane bid 'accepted'

City have reached agreement with Spurs to pay an initial £4 million for the Republic of Ireland international.

But this could rise by additional £2million via various add-ons and clauses in the deal.

30-year-old Keane has been a bit-part player for Tottenham this season, and all but two of the Irishman's appearances for the club this campaign have been as a substitute.

In last year's January transfer window Keane secured a loan to Celtic, but his form has not improved since his return.

Birmingham have scored just 20 goals in this season's Premier League - fewer than all but Wigan Athletic.
