The speculation surrounding Sylvain Distin's future continues to mount, as The Mirror now credit Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez with an interest in the French defender.
Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill is believed to have already had one £2.5 million bid rejected by confirmed Portsmouth manager Paul Hart, so Benitez will need to act with a strong bid while he - and his squad - are in Thailand, before the Ulsterman returns to the fold with a more lucrative second fee.
Benitez has already considerably strengthened his rear-guard this season, with the expensive acquisition of roaming right-back Glen Johnson, who is equally adept at being a productive outlet high on the right flank.
The Reds considerably closed the gap between themselves and Premier League title holders Manchester United last term, and with the respective departures of Cristiano Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez, Rafa Benitez may be confident of sneaking a title away from Sir Alex Ferguson, should he continue to bolster his own squad.
