Recently there have been rumors about the active interest in the rising star of the Israeli national team Yossi Benayoun.
Benayoun, who had a great season at Racing last year, attracted attention from scouts of other clubs. It is said that apart from Liverpool, Tottenham is also interested in the player, especially since the former coach of the French national team, Jacques Santini, recently took over the reins of Tottenham.
Playing in an attacking midfield position, Benayoun featured in all 34 matches for Racing last season and was one of the team's leaders, scoring seven goals.
The 24-year-old player has admitted being a Liverpool fan, but with Tottenham's interest, Liverpool may face fierce competition for the player.
However, the potential transfer to Liverpool becomes more convincing as it is believed that the former Valencia coach, Rafael Benitez, will take over at the club, and he had plenty of opportunities to assess Benayoun's abilities this season. According to experts, Benayoun is very good at making quick and decisive decisions in crucial game situations.
