WILL KEANE is at the centre of a three-way transfer battle from Championship clubs Watford, QPR and Sheffield United.
The Wigan striker was the top scorer in League One with 26 goals last season as the Latics returned to English football’s second tier as champions.
Keane, who is valued at £1million and has one year left on his contract, has also attracted interest from Belgian outfit Club Brugge.
The 29-year-old netted 27 times in all competitions and he won Wigan’s Players’ Player of the Year award for his stand-out performances.
