Jermaine Pennant reckons Liverpool will have the best front two in the Premier League if they can pair Fernando Torres with Robbie Keane.Liverpool have confirmed an interest in signing Keane, although Rafa Benitez's comments about the Irishman have prompted a complaint from Tottenham.
Keane has told Spurs that he wants to join Liverpool and Pennant would welcome the gifted forward at Anfield.
With Torres having enjoyed a sensational debut season with the Reds, Pennant believes the combination of the Spaniard and Keane would be a major hit.
"Robbie is a great player," said Pennant in the Daily Star. "He's sharp around the box and is a great finisher.
"With Torres up front as well, it will be a great partnership. They could be as good as anything in the Premier League."
Meanwhile, Pennant is planning to still be a member of the Liverpool squad in the coming season as he looks to cement a place in Benitez's side.
Pennant has been linked with a move to Blackburn, but insists he is not looking to quit the Reds.
He added: "I'm not thinking about leaving at all."

I think the thing about Liverpool's striker signings is they have done well in foreign countries but not here, Kuyt, Voronin etc,
Keane is proven Premiership class and I think he'd be the perfect foil for Torres so a good deal for Liverpool if it happens
AS A SPURS FAN I WOULD BE GUTTED IF KEANE WENT TO LIVERPOOL AND YES JOHN YOU WOULD BE GETTING A SHARP QUICK PLAYER FULL OF ENERGY AND THE ONLY SAVING GRACE IS THAT HE MAY SCORE THE GOALS THAT STOP ARSENAL AND CHELSEA AND MAN U WINNING THE PREM BECAUSE RATHER YOU THAN THEM.
Keane would be a great asset to Liverpool, he is sharp, quick, and never seems to run out of energy. I would love to see him in a Red shirt. As for Pennant well, I think he must improve if he wishes to stay at Anfield, we have seen what he can do, occasionally and that is the problem he has to be more consistent, he is a winger and therefore should be passing defenders at will, he does not do this often enough. He lacks confidence, maybe having Keane up front will help him believe in himself more, as Robbie never seems to lack confidence.
