Aimar hints at Liverpool switch

Last updated : 28 December 2004 By Adam Bryant
The Argentinian midfielder has not been a regular in Claudio Ranieri's first team at Valencia this season, and is keen to join Liverpool.

"This season I'm not happy at Valencia," he admitted. "Rafa Benitez is an excellent coach who knows me very well and Liverpool would be an ideal place to go if I cannot sort out my future here.

"I do not understand why I have not been playing. Ranieri has not told me the reasons but I am obviously not part of his plans.

"From what I can see, English football is the best in Europe next to Spain and I do not think I would have a problem adapting to the Premiership."
