Benitez to sign Tenerife teen Gonzalez

RAFAEL BENITEZ is ready to dip into the coffers of Liverpool’s new American owners by adding to his Spanish contingent.

The Anfield manager has earmarked a £1.5million move for Tenerife midfielder Iriome Gonzalez at the end of the season.

The 19-year-old right-sided midfielder has this year broken into the first team of the Canary Island outfit, who play in the second division in Spain.

Iriome has appeared in only six games, and with regulations in Spain stating an academy graduate cannot sign a contract until he has featured in 10 senior games, Tenerife will make sure the midfielder reaches that figure so they can command a transfer fee at the end of the campaign.

Benitez has tracked Iriome during his progress through the youth ranks, and is confident of capturing the highly-rated teenager ahead of a clutch of other interested clubs.

Iriome’s arrival would be one of several during the summer with Benitez, backed by Liverpool’s new owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks, expected to be busy when the transfer window reopens in June.

Nice to see we can now go for proven talent under our new owners

We need to buy wisely in the summer not the kind of changes we had at the beginning of the season.

We need a big player in attack and probably an outstanding right winger that's all.

That is all.

JAR needs to be replaced but Aurelio is a good left back though and JAR can be his understudy.
