Keller, who comes from southern Alsace , joined the then French second division club FC Mulhouse in 1986 as an 18-year-old . With Mulhouse in 1989, he was promoted to Division 1 , but this was followed by immediate relegation.

After rising in 1992, Keller played four years with Strasbourg in Division 1 and was one of the crowd's favorites at the Meinau Stadium . In total, he completed 151 games in the D1, in which he scored 26 goals.

In the summer of 1996 he moved to the other side of the Rhine to Karlsruher SC in the Bundesliga. There the trained striker, who was mainly used on the right wing, proved to be a great reinforcement and was able to convince in the Bundesliga (61 appearances, 13 goals in two seasons) and in the UEFA Cup.

In the 0-1 defeat in Copenhagen against Denmark , Keller was substituted on for Zinédine Zidane in the 80th minute . On June 3, 1997, Keller made his first goal for the French national selection. In the friendly against Brazil in Lyon , he came on as a substitute for Robert Pires at the beginning of the second half and scored in the 60th minute to make it 1-1.
