Benitez target: France winger Florent Malouda
France World Cup winger Florent Malouda has emerged as one of two players Rafa Benitez has identified to launch a summer of hectic transfer activity at Anfield. The Liverpool boss has demanded urgent action from his board and claimed he had lined up two targets, valued at £8-10million, who could be signed straight away.
It is understood Malouda, capped 28 times, is one of them and Lyon's president has said he is ready to listen to offers for France's newly-crowned player of the year. The 26-year old, who is Benitez's preferred option on the left side next season, is likely to cost around £9m after playing a key role in another title-winning campaign for his club.
Barcelona's Samuel Eto'o remains a potential recruit up front, but current Liverpool striker Peter Crouch insists he has been assured of his Anfield future. Crouch, linked recently with a move to Newcastle, said: "The manager has told me I'm part of his plans, and that is good enough for me.
"At a club like Liverpool, there's always going to be competition for places, especially as the manager likes to chop and change." -

Malouda wants future sorted
Liverpool target Florent Malouda is hoping to resolve his future as soon as possible.
The 26-year-old is considering leaving Lyon for a fresh challenge with a number of top clubs across Europe tracking the winger.
Lyon are ready to listen to offers for the French international and could sell him at the right price.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez is hoping to steal a march on his rivals by tabling a bid for the left-sided midfielder.
Benitez is looking to bring in a new wide man with Bolo Zenden and Mark Gonzalez both set to move on from Anfield.
The Spaniard is now hoping to be given the nod to make a move for Malouda with the French Player of the Year waiting to see what happens during the transfer window.
"If nothing happens from now that means the clubs who have approached me are not convinced," Malouda was quoted as saying in the Mirror.
"If that's the case, there is no point in leaving - I don't want to go wherever.
"If I leave it will be under the best circumstances for me and for Lyon." -

BenÃtez wants Malouda to kick off his spending spree
Liverpool hope to have secured the first of Rafael BenÃtez's major signings this summer by the time the Spaniard returns from a family holiday at the weekend, with the Lyon midfielder Florent Malouda edging closer to an £8m switch to Anfield.
The France international, a key member of the side which reached the World Cup final last summer, has been told he can leave Stade Gerland after playing a significant part in Lyon securing a sixth consecutive French league title, with the 26-year-old keen to take on a new challenge. BenÃtez has earmarked him on a list of prospective summer recruits that also includes Simao Sabrosa of Benfica, Carlos Tevez at West Ham, Roma's Alessandro Mancini and David Silva of Valencia.
Mark González and Boudewijn Zenden are on their way out of Anfield while another left-footed midfielder, Harry Kewell, could also leave after Aston Villa showed an interest in the Australian. He could even figure at Villa Park alongside his Liverpool team-mate, Craig Bellamy. BenÃtez is willing to listen to offers for both players but, while he hopes to recoup around £12m for Bellamy, he will allow Kewell to move for a nominal fee. -
I think this guy is a good player, The curent France Footballer of the year can't be too bad.
