  Rafa ready to battle it out with Newcastle for Spurs star Lennon.

  

  Rafa Benitez will go head-to-head with Kevin Keegan for Tottenham winger Aaron Lennon's £10million signature at the end of the season. The Liverpool manager has been quick to react to Tottenham counterpart Juande Ramos' decision to dispense with Lennon and is determined to challenge Newcastle all the way.

  Benitez recently revealed that plans were in place for another summer of transfer activity, despite continuing unrest behind the scenes between co-owners Tom Hicks and George Gillett, and that two or three new faces had already been lined up.

  Lennon's blistering pace down the right would make up for the likely loss of Jermaine Pennant, who is attracting growing interest from the likes of Middlesbrough and Aston Villa.

  Keegan is just as keen on recruiting Lennon as part of a massive shake-up at all levels, with the Newcastle manager intent on strengthening his youth set-up as well as all areas of his senior squad.

  This guy no good la...always runs aimlessly with the ball. Only thing is he's v fast.

  Is he still in the England squad? I think Walcott's much better than him.

  I think Lennon don suit the EPL, it's too ferocious for him. His style suits the Serie A more
