Liverpool boss Benitez turns to Birmingham's Pennant

Liverpool are ready to launch a bid for Birmingham City winger Jermaine Pennant.
Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez hoped to sign Seville's attacking right-sided star Daniel Alves, 23, after chasing him for six months.
But the Spanish side will not let the Brazilian leave for less than £10million - a figure Rafa will not pay. Now he will test Birmingham's resolve with a firm £5m offer for winger Pennant, 23.
Benitez had a £3.5m offer rejected by Brum at the end of the season.
