Busy day for Benitez

Liverpool’s fine recent run of form has not halted manager Rafael Benitez’s restructuring at Anfield after two players yesterday joined the Reds and two more were strongly linked with a move to Merseyside.

Benitez has already snapped up Dutchman Jan Kromkamp and Paul Anderson and is ready to follow up that double swoop with the capture of £5.5m (€8m) Brondby centre-back Daniel Agger by the weekend.
