Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez says he's ready to pounce for some of the game's biggest names in the summer market.

The Independent says Liverpool's challenge is to establish momentum where prospective summer purchases are concerned, despite the handover from Rick Parry to a successor for whom the search has barely started.

Benitez believes the promise of challenging for "important trophies" can entice players who "if they went to other teams wouldn't have chances. We have a lot of information. We need to know when we can do it."
