Striker Keane returned to Tottenham last night for a knockdown u00a312m just six months after Liverpool shelled out u00a320m for the Irishman.
The 28-year-old, will train with his old Spurs pals today after scoring just seven times in 28 Reds games a cost of u00a31.1million per goal.
A total of 1,578 minutes on the pitch under manager Benitez since July cost u00a35,070 (Rs 3.49 lakh, approx) a minute.
Enthusiastic chapSpurs boss Harry Redknapp said, "Robbie will make a massive impact.
"He is full of enthusiasm which we need. I am delighted."
Benitez is short of options in attack and his title chances could be blown apart if hitman Fernando Torres gets injured.
Meanwhile, Keane will be thrown straight into a derby against Arsenal.
The fee for him could rise to u00a315m depending on his success at Spurs.
Keane said, "Some Spurs fans will feel I let them down by leaving but I can assure them I shall give my all."
