RAFA SETS SIGHTS ON NEW DEALS Paul Eaton 30 March 2008
	Rafael Benitez has revealed plans are already being made for next season - with three new players within his sights.
Despite facing into the most testing period of the season so far with today's derby with Everton being followed by a triple header with Arsenal, the Liverpool boss has admitted there is already work going on behind the scenes ahead of the new campaign in August. "We have agreements with two young players and one senior player who will be a starting XI player. That deal is already done," he said. "We are also making plans for our pre-season tour and talking to players here about new contracts." Sami Hyypia has already been offered a new deal by the Reds, with Benitez hopeful the big Finn will agree to extend his Anfield stay into a tenth year. from liverpoolfc.tv
