Reds to go Dutch

Liverpool will go Dutch next season as they look to sign Real Madrid midfielder Rafael Van der Vaart. Reds Manager Rafa Benitez will fork out £6m for a player who has remained on the fringes at the Bernabeu for the past two years. Van der Vaart made his name at Ajax Amsterdam before starring for Hamburg in the Bundesliga. He is considered one of the most talented players Holland has ever produced. Benitez plans to raise transfer funds by offloading Ryan Babel, Fabio Aurelio and Albert Riera.
