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.

In my opinion, Aaron is an exciting player. I like him. I admire the way he penetrate from the right flank. I even like him to be a Red. Compare to Pennant, Aaron is a regular now in the England squad. That shows Aaron has the opportunity to shine. And he will benefit more under Rafa i.e rotated (hahaha...)
If this story has any truth in it, by all means... Aaron- you are most welcome here in LFC. At least, we gonna have another Lennon when we think of Liverpool...
