Villa boss McLeish admits Keane could be lone signing

Aston Villa boss Alex McLeish admits the loan signing of LA Galaxy striker Robbie Keane could be their only summer deal.

McLeish admits he is unlikely to add further to his squad during January unless players head out of the club.

He said: "It's a case of keeping and steering the ship in the right direction in terms of the wages.

"We have a clear vision through Randy Lerner (club owner) and Paul Faulkner (chief executive) that we have to manage the wages.

"We are still steering that course. There's no way we will add to the wages unless some of the wages are offloaded.

"I am not in any hurry to lose any of my players. Only if it was an attractive proposition would we do anything so it's very unlikely we would let any of our players go."
