Robbie Keane training with UAE side Al-Ahli

Former Republic of Ireland captain Robbie Keane has been pictured training with United Arab Emirates side Al-Ahli.

The 36-year-old has been looking for a new club since ending a five-year stint with Los Angeles Galaxy in November.

A number of English clubs have been linked with a bid for the former Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool striker, but he now looks set to move to Dubai and join up with the likes of Asamoah Gyan at Al-Ahli.

The club, who currently sit fourth in the Arabian Gulf League table, tweeted a photo of Keane in training accompanied by the caption: "Irish star Robbie Keane participates in morning drills."

Keane retired from international football last year having scored 68 goals in 146 matches for Ireland.
