Benitez to offer Spurs £7m plus Pennant to take Lennon to Liverpool
Unsettled: Pennant has made just three Premier League appearances this season
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez is set to tempt Spurs with a cash-plus-player deal for Aaron Lennon.
Benitez will offer Jermaine Pennant plus £7million for Lennon, who has apparently attracted interest from Real Madrid in recent weeks following his startling form under new boss Harry Redknapp.
Redknapp is a long-term admirer of former Arsenal winger Pennant, and tried to snare the 25-year-old in the summer while manager of Portsmouth. And he has continued to keep tabs on the player and would be interested in a cut-price deal in January.
Signed in 2006 from Birmingham for £6.7m, Pennant has found himself out of favour after missing a training session and has only played three times in the Premier League this season.
Benitez is keen to cash in on Pennant, who has six months left on his contract at Anfield and could leave the club for free in the summer. After declining a £4m move to Blackburn, Newcastle and Stoke, it is understood that Benitez is open to offers around £3m for Pennant.
But Redknapp may accept the swap deal, given the extra cash on offer - and that Pennant is a ready made replacement for England international Lennon, report the Daily Mirror.

well, I am unsure why Rafa feels that someone else will want to take pennant or his rejects..
I got this funny feeling that whatever Harry touches turns to gold, so he may be able to utilise Pennat unlike wenger and Rafa.. and Lennon may turns out to be another "SWP" when he was in chelsea.

i think lennon is doing fine at spurs.. lennon style of play best fit is in arsenal..

lennon is speedy and dribbles well. but his crosses sucks.
-
I think buy Owen than Lennon? Sell Keane Back to Tottenham?

1 thing he can do, is hold e ball 1st. then maybe pass to Torres or whoever to score.
anyway, Pennant, pls leave liverpool.

whatever lah. got stevie n torres is very gd liao.

Take Owen... kop will love him and temporary take the heat off Rafa :)

It seems many Pool fans still luv Owen and want him back... Strange.
Didn't he played out till 6 months left on his contract then left for Madrid at a super low fee of only $8m... Pool had no choice or he would have walk away free...
Madrid paid little for him then sold to Newcastle for $17m the following year making a handsome profit of more than 100%...

cause madrid just buy out owen contract..
and i seriously doubt that owen will go bak to liverpool (opps LOL)..
from my understanding is either chelsea stick with newcastle or everton
don't forget that owen is a business man
$$ come first
man city might.. but hardly no one would want to go there

Not really lah, his 6 months contract didn't worth $8m... Just that they got him on the cheap cos his contract left 6 months...Owen go back to Chelsea?
I don't think he was ever a Blue...

he is a business man after all

waste of money!
lennon is injury prone! inconsistency form.
typical liverpool transfer deal.
-
it has to be funny to suit rafa's style of dealings what.
lennon ok lah, got pace, but crossing cmi. -
Pennant is a good player but got no enough playing time. You do not expect player to play like world champion when he only plays 10 times in a season. And am not sure what is in Rafa's head...he bought Keane for £20m to warm the bench.
