Rafa: New Signings Will Be 'Hungry'

Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says that a winning mentality will be a main determinant in whether he signs a player this summer.

After another trophyless season for Liverpool,Rafa Benitez is once again looking to strengthen his squad and he knows exactly what type of characteristics he is looking for in a player.

"We need players who are hungry, people who want to win trophies," he told the club's official website.

"We are only interested in signing the players that we need. For example if we need a right-back, we'll try and sign one. Why do we need to sign the best striker in the world, when we have one of the best here already? We just need to do the right things in the right moment."

"This season we could see the reaction of everyone under pressure," he added.

"That was important information for the future. We saw how people reacted during a difficult time."

According to media reports, areas that may be strengthened are the the wings and full-backs, Gareth Barry, David Bentley and Schalke's Rafinha and Eric Abidal are just some of the names recently linked with the Reds.
