The Liverpool Echo are this morning reporting that Alberto Aquilani will inherit Sami Hyypia's old #4 shirt number.

Furthermore, Rafa Benitez is ready to look elsewhere for a centre-half after Hull City slapped a £11million price tag on Michael Turner.

The Liverpool boss is a keen admirer of the 25-year-old defender. However, the Reds are only willing to pay £5million and with the two clubs so far apart in their valuations the manager will now pursue other options.
