Rafael Benitez is convinced £20m signing Alberto Aquilani will prove to be a good signing for Liverpool. Unfortunately, the Anfield faithful have seen little of their big-money signing this season, with injury and illness keeping the 25 year old sidelined for long periods.
"You can see he wants to improve and it is important for us to have another player pushing," Benitez told the club's official website.
"We need players with quality to help us improve until the end of the season. Alberto has got desire and he is working very hard. When we have him available, he can give us a different approach on the pitch in different games.
"It is a question of time. It is disappointing that he was ill and missed out against Lille but we are hopeful he will continue to improve and play more games before the end of the season."
