From TLW; Ajax full back Hatem Trabelsi is currently on Merseyside discussing a possible Bosman transfer to the reds. The Tunisia defender flew in to Liverpool airport from Holland today after Rafa Benitez finally appeared to have accepted defeat in his attempt to sign Sevilla's Daniel Alves. The reds were hoping to bring in Alves to play predominantly on the right of midfield, as well as providing cover for the right back spot. However, Sevilla have steadfastly refused to budge on their £12m asking price, which was out of Liverpool's price range, and Benitez has now set his sights on a cut price double swoop for Trabelsi and Jermaine Pennant to give him more options on the right flank. The rest of the transfer kitty will be used to try and prise Dirk Kuyt away from Feyenoord. Dutch full back Jan Kromkamp is expected to return to Holland, with Ajax his most likely destination as the Amsterdam club look to replace Trabelsi. There is also the possibility that Benitez may try to use Kromkamp as part of a package to tempt Feyenoord into selling Kuyt. Kromkamp's signing was only ever seen by Benitez as a shrewd piece of business, as not only did he manage to offload Josemi as part of the deal, he knew he could raise £2-3m by selling the Dutchman back to his homeland this summer.
