Benitez sets his sights on Spain's Villa
09.07.08
Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez has targeted Spain's David Villa as a replacement for Peter Crouch.
The Valencia forward scored four goals at Euro 2008 and could form an all-Spanish frontline at Anfield alongside Fernando Torres.
"We will try to bring in another striker," said Benitez. "Villa is a player we know all about and he is on our list. But maybe it will be difficult."
News of Liverpool's interest in Villa came as England striker Crouch passed a medical ahead of his £11million transfer to Portsmouth.
