Robbie Keane is only 21 years old, but has already cost clubs a staggering £31million - even excluding the latest fee offered by Sunderland to Leeds.
His value can only have increased following a superb display at the World Cup where he scored three goals, including last-gasp equalisers against Germany and Spain. Alex Ferguson once claimed he would only pay £500,000 for the striker.
