Keegan earmarks £6million for Kop Striker

April 4, 2008 · By Redneck · Jump to comments

Newcastle United Kevin Keegan has earmarked 10% of his reported £60million war-chest for 27-year-old Dutchman Dirk Kuyt in a bid to bolster his firing power for next season.

Kuyt who has failed to impress many of his critics during the current season is expected to be one of the several players who are on their way out of Anfield in a Benitez mini-overhaul which is said to include Xabi Alonso, John Arne Riise, Andriy Voronin, Jermain Pennant and Aussie Harry Kewell.

Benitez paid a cool £10million for Kuyt from Feyenoord and will be looking to re-coup as much of that fee as possible and could be tempted with a bid of £6million or over as it could be used for his own summer targets.
