Liverpool using Babel to land Werder Bremen's Hunt

Liverpool are chasing Werder Bremen midfielder Aaron Hunt.

The People says Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez will try to swap Ryan Babel for Werder Bremen star Hunt.

Babel is keen on a move away from Anfield because he isn't getting a run in the first team - and knows that a regular game is vital if he is to make the Holland squad for next summer's World Cup finals in South Africa.

And Reds boss Benitez can offer him no guarantees, using him largely as a substitute this season.

Now the Spaniard will offer Babel as bait in an attempt to land Germany international Hunt.

Hunt qualifies for both Germany and England, because of his English mother, but the 23-year-old has chosen to play for his homeland.
