Rafa's Villa hint

With Peter Crouch set to join Portsmouth this week, the Reds are looking to sign another striker. Valencia's David Villa, who linked up so well with Fernando Torres for Spain at Euro 2008, is one possibility.

"We have Fernando Torres, Andriy Voronin, Dirk Kuyt, Ryan Babel and Steven Gerrard, who can play as a second striker," said Benitez.

"But we will try to bring in another option. Villa is a player we know all about and he is on our list. But maybe it will be difficult."
