Liverpool will be installed as the favourites to sign
Aston Villa winger Ashley Young if Xabi Alonso is sold to Real
Madrid.
That move is looking increasingly likely as the Spain
international is keen on a switch to the Bernabeu and a £27million
deal could be concluded by the end of the week.
Any cash being deposited in the Anfield coffers will
not stay there long, however, as Rafa Benitez will make a move for
England international Young before seeking a direct replacement for
Alonso.
