Liverpool boss Rafael Benitez believes that prospective new signing Albert Riera will prove to be a big hit at Anfield.

The 26-year-old Spain international is poised to seal a switch from Espanyol and Benitez thinks that Riera will add some much-needed width to his squad.

RAFAEL BENITEZ

He said: "He will be a good addition for us. He has experience of playing in the Premier League for Manchester City, he has qualities we need.

"We need to improve in wide areas and we are trying to find a solution.

"Riera is a left-winger, has experience in the Premier League, so I would expect him to settle down quickly.

"Wingers are difficult to find, so we have searched and we believe we will sign one soon. We also have Fabio Aurelio and Andreas Dossena who can also work out wide.

"But I need competition and quality to give us more width in our game and Riera will provide that."
