Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has spoken with delight at the impending arrival of midfielder Alberto Aquilani. The Italian who won player of the tournament at the European Under-19 championship in 2003 will arrive for his medical imminently and the Reds boss is overjoyed with his capture.“Alberto is a player with the quality we are looking for," reports the Echo.
“He can play a little bit higher than Javier Mascherano – maybe between him and Steven Gerrard. He has good passing – the final ball is good – and he works."
“If he can settle down properly in England he can be a very good addition. Alberto has a winning mentality and great experience in both Serie A and the Champions League. He has long been recognised as a top class talent."
"The signing should excite the fans. He won the Under-19 European Championship with his country, and Under-21 too. He has some trophies – including the Italian Cup."
"I always remember one game – England versus Italy Under-21s at Wembley, and he was man of the match in a 3-0 win."
