According to a report in todays News of the World, Liverpool are now favourites to sign the 19 year-old Crystal Palace star Victor Moses.

Crystal Palace are having a financial crisis and have to sell their best player to balance the books. It was thought that Tottenham were in pole position to sign the talented youngster, but Harry Redknapp has been told that he has to sell to fund any incoming players, whereas the NOTW think that Benitez will have no problem raising the £5m in cash to buy Moses.

It seems that both Barcelona and the Bundesliga club Hoffenheim have also registered an interest, but Moses doesn’t want to move away from England this early in his career, and it looks like he will be going up the M6 to Liverpool.
