Rafael Benitez is ready to battle his old club Liverpool by making a move for Hungarian striker Adam Szalai.
The Inter Milan manager's reign at Anfield was brought to an unceremonious end this summer and Benitez has since criticized the Liverpool board following his exit to Italy.
And now he's ready to rival his former club for Mainz ace Szalai, who has been in fine form in the Bundesliga.
The 22-year-old has been watched by Liverpool and Inter in recent weeks and the scouts have seen him score five goals in his past four games.
Hodgson is desperate to add to his squad in January and has targeted a striker to lessen the burden on Fernando Torres - but he faces a fight with Benitez to land Szalai.
The Hungarian's contract at Mainz expires in 2013 and the German club values him at around £4m.
